Bearing Maintenance Schedule
« on: October 13, 2013, 12:45:31 PM »
Some of the other helicopters I have recommend checking the head bearings every  20 flights.  I know that the bearings used in the E7se are probably higher quality bearings, but how often are most replacing (or inspecting) main shaft and head bearings?

I check the bearings to see how smooth they are after each session and either remove the shield or use a bearing greaser every time I break things down to replace something.  The bearings Synergy uses are the best I have ever seen on a model.  I am speaking only on helis in general, I have not done a thing to the bearings on my synergy yet.
