Hey all,

Still pretty much a newbie here. Have a little over 4 gallons run thru my
venture 30. Was up playing around last night and thought every once in a
while I could here the sound of metal squealing on metal. Not positive, but
that's what it sounded like to me. The manual doesn't discuss lubrication
(or if it does, I missed it). What should one be lubricating with. Don't
want to use the wrong stuff and have something attacking the plastic parts.
Also, is there anything on this heli that looks like it ought to be lubed
but shouldn't be. And is there stuff that ought to be lubed that would be
very easy to miss? Sure would be nice if JR would have included a lube
chart.

Thanks for the help, having a blast!

-Mark

Mark, the only time I have had metal on metal it ended with huge amounts of
swarf all over the place. If you dont have swarf you probably havent got
metal:metal.

Not sure what else it coiuld be
