HopePilot Posted November 14, 2010 Report Posted November 14, 2010 Ed Guthrie says silicon oil, which I am planning to buy. I had thought about using Corrosion X? I'm trying to avoid my control shaft from getting rusty looking (like on some planes). What's everyone using? Quote
MooneyMitch Posted November 14, 2010 Report Posted November 14, 2010 If you do happen to have some discoloration or slight rust on the yokes, bronze wool has been very successful for me. It can be purchased at your local hardware store. The material removes any marks without destroying the finish. I hope this helps you Mr. Hope Pilot and thank your support and for hangin' with us this w/e. Mooney's ROCK!! Quote
HopePilot Posted November 14, 2010 Author Report Posted November 14, 2010 No discoloration yet, but pictures of other's shafts have made me want to take some preventative measures. FYI Mitch: I took video of the award presentation in 1080 HD and will give you guys a SD copy next time we run into each other. Someday, when I get a burner that make a bluray, I'll give you an HD copy. Quote

carusoam Posted November 14, 2010 Report Posted November 14, 2010 Teflon spray worked well for my 1965 M20C. Just a little lasts a few months. Easy to clean and spray. Silicone spray (WD40?) also works well, but does not last as long. Best regards, -a- Quote
Hank Posted November 15, 2010 Report Posted November 15, 2010 I just hit it with a short burst from my can of Tri-Flow. If I have it around, I will sometimes use the little squirt bottle of "dry" Tri-Flow that came free with my last big spray can. Quote
fantom Posted November 15, 2010 Report Posted November 15, 2010 A drop or two of Tri-Flow works every time. I haven't heard on "dry" Tri-Flow. Quote

HopePilot Posted November 22, 2010 Author Report Posted November 22, 2010 So I ended up getting Tri-Flow and it worked great! Just remember to contact your physician if things don't return to normal after three hours... Quote

scottfromiowa Posted November 23, 2010 Report Posted November 23, 2010 Tri-Flow...the miracle Lub-ricant. Hey Burn, I wouldn't get my shaft(s) close to the nose of your bird...Might be a "World According to Garp" experience... Quote
