Default Lubrication

Also be aware that there are some points that may specifically not
need lube. Again- the manual.


As I mentioned above, lubing some areas is prohibited.
Especially disastrous is lubing teflon or nylon sliding parts,
which sucks grit into the sliding area and abrades
everything. I've seen a "lube job" cause damage in:
- Early Ventus flaperon-drive control track inside wings
- Pilatus B4 pushrods (teflon tape on rods through nylon guides)

Don't do this !
