Triflow Oil

I use Triflow oil on the pitch slider on the tail rotor shaft and the washout base on the mainshaft.

I use Triflow grease on my other bearings and I run the plastic gears dry.

Ditto on the triflow for the oil, but i use grease from miniature aircraft that come in a big syringe. It's some sort of synthetic grease for our application. It's great to pack thrust bearings and others, syringe last years and is easy to work with.

Lubricants

I use Tri-Flow as well on my Raptor and I think it works well. You can also get Tri-Flow from the bycycle department at Wal-Mart as well.
