What do you guys use on your yokes? Is there anything that lasts longer
than silicone spray that (a) doesn't stain carpet, (b) doesn't stink to high heaven, and (c) doesn't leave particulate matter behind? This stuff: Dupont Teflon Silicone spray lubricant. This appears to be the same stuff I'm using. Or does it have a special attribute that makes it more long lasting? -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

You using the DuPont brand that has both Teflon and Silicone? There are some of these kinds of sprays that are Silicone only. I've found that the DuPont spray with Teflon plus Silicone lasts longer on my yokes and seat rails, and the Prestone brand of "high viscosity formula" silicone-only spray in the bright yellow cans works best on oleo strut legs and control surface hinges. |

Well, duh. I didn't see the Teflon part of the equation... Sounds like a good buy. I'll pick some up and give it a whirl... -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

I believe that Piper recommends Parker O-Ring Lube for those models where a lubricant is recommended. Parker O-Ring Lube is available at the large aviation supply houses, but I'm not sure what makes it different than DC4, which is what I use. JKG |

Parker O-Ring Lube (at least the tube in my tool box) is very sticky/stringy stuff. I really wouldn't recommend it to lubricate the yokes in a Cherokee (we always used LPS1 or Tri-Flow) TC sig snip |
