Correct aileron and flap hinge lube?


KB4

Recommended Posts

Jerry says that Heim Bearing should be lubed with Tri-Flo in the January 2018 MAPA Log. 

I am trying to figure out which lube is recommended for Flap and Aileron hinges.  XPS?  I checked the service manual an found no guidance.

This is what I use for all my "light weight" oil applications D-5261NS. 

It's mil spec that's listed in almost every airframe MM I've ever worked on. 

Tri-flow is great too if you can't find what spec to use. Like nylon rollers or anything were you'd worry about paterolium wrecking the material, seals etc.
