Lubrication
It is important to lubricate the flex shaft of
the Miss Elam with silicone cable grease after
every two hours of operation. Do not forget to
do this. You can purchase this silicone grease
at your local hobby store. To lubricate the
drive shaft, follow these simple instructions.

1. Carefully note how the drive shaft and prop

propeller and shaft from the aluminum strut.
