Thanks Jeff,

We buy bearings from a few different sources, I'll look into this.

grease, the throttle was a bit notchy. So, I sanded the indentations from
the plastic on the throttle slider itself. Starting with 150 and ending
with 320+. The process makes the throttle buttery smooth. Note that you
can still use the tension strap, but it will not have the ability to ratchet
any longer.

Yep, I've heard of other heli pilots doing the same thing to get a "smooth"
feel to their throttle. MAN, it's only 24 deg as of 10am, and the chill
factor is down at 9!! Brrrrr! I guess the building season is finally here,
hehehehehe...

Guys
Took and wood burning patio heater to the field, anyone that wants to stay
warm bring some fire wood out and have at it. The bail of straw there can be
used to start your kindling.
