My manual says to use Tri-Flow to lubricate the rod end bearings. Tri-Flow has a plethora of lubricants. Does anyone know specifically which Tri-Flow lubricant I am supposed to use on the rod end bearings?
Thanks,
Dave Van Lanen

Hi,
I use LPS 1 on just about everything. It seems to lubricate nice and I have had no problems as of yet. I'm sure others with more experience and credentials, will say what they have used.

I'm using LPS as well -
LPS 1 for flaperon bearings
LPS 2 for Rod ends
Available at Aircraft Spruce among other places.

I use both LPS and Tri-Flo but I can't tell you which one, I think I got it at a bike shop.

My model 4-1200 kit was from 2001 and almost every rod end was bone dry and on some the eye could not be moved with my fingers. I bought a grease gun and injected lithium grease into all of them. I recommend everyone check their rod ends for proper lubrication before assembly.
Hope this helps
Roger.
