Grease recommendation

I use STP Oil Treatment on wing pins, lift pins, L'Hotellier balls and
sockets, and stabilator pins.

Thanks all for the info. Glad to hear that nobody is using chicken
grease!

Chicken grease is terrible. Bear Fat is much better.

Anybody use Vaseline? It seems to me that this stuff would be perfect.

It's odorless, translucent and doesn't leave difficult stains on your
clothing. Acid free, repeals moisture, doesn't oxidize, protects from
UV rays, reacts with very few materials, and stays consistent over a
wide range of temperatures. Porsche even recommended the stuff for
maintenance of seals and corrosion protection for wheels.

I can't stand how messy typical grease and white lithium are.

Kevin, next time you rig walk over and I will give you some "Super
Lube W/ptfe" which is a food grade non-staining winch grease. Works
way better than lithium in cold temp. I prefer it over all other
grease products.

And the winner is...
BrianDG303 with his SuperLube!!! No kidding, only after I put that
stuff on the main pins of a brand-new ASG-29 did we get the glider
together with hardly any bleep-words. You can use it very sparingly
and it stays on the surfaces for many weeks. Clear synthetic grease
that reduces friction to close to Zero.

Which version are you using? Super Lube® High Temperature Extreme
Pressure Grease, Synthetic Multi-Purpose Grease, Silicone Lubricating
Grease with Syncolon® (PTFE), etc?

When I bought my Austria years ago, the guy I bought it from gave me a
tube of the stuff, said he used it for years on the pins and fittings.
Worked for me!

I'm about 30% of the way into the large jar purchased in 1977 for my
HP-14. That's ~650 riggings (of it and a Zuni) in the years since. Just
don't store it sideways or upsidedown in hot temperatures...

The only kinda-sorta engineering-based knock ever uttered in my presence
was to the effect that - compared to (say) engineered/pricier greases -
it had unknown pressure-loading properties. FWIW neither ship has ever
developed slop in any of their main pins == good enough for this
engineer! Besides - and be honest here - raise your hand if you've ever
actually sought out that sort of engineering data; raise your other hand
if you've ever measured the cyclic bearing loads on your ship's main
pins. :-)
