       Group,

  

   I am doing my 25 hour maintenance as in the Rotax manual. On page  10-2 line 14 ,under the maintenance schedule it says to lubricate the  control cables. Is this referring to the choke and throttle cables, or the  flying surface cables???  It has a #3 , beside it,  which says  according to manufacturers instruction. It is not clear to me what they are  suggesting to be oiled. What is the easiest way to lubricate the throttle and  choke cables as that is what I think they must mean?

Just think about it for 2 seconds.  Is your engine manufacturer going to make a recommendation of how often to inspect your flying surface cables, especially being that they have no idea what type of plane it will be installed in ?



This one is a no brainer.

   You can lubricate your choke and throttle cables without taking them off the carbs.



  Part # 7435

  CABLE LUBER SYSTEM - $17.95  

  "Prevent cable freezing and extend cable life by lubricating cable with the

  "Cable Luber" system. Special precision machined lube block allows ease

  of lubrication between cable and housing without removing the cable.

  Just attach the Cable Luber to either end of the cable and insert nozzle

  from aerosol can. Specially designed seals in block force lube down

  inside cable housing. A must for the serious mechanic. Cable Life Aerosol

  lubricates and rustproofs moving parts even at temperatures far below -50 

  degrees.

               Thanks for the very helpful info without the useless slam.  That is how the  list was designed to work, and it is in spite of certain individuals. Those of  us who have been around a while know who to listen to.

  

                   Thanks again,

 What happened here?

  

 "Just think about it for 2 seconds.  Is your engine manufacturer going  to make a recommendation of how often to inspect your flying surface cables,  especially being that they have no idea what type of plane it will be installed  in ?

 "Effective immediately, "Max Stafford" has been banned from posting to the  Matronics Lists.

 This guy is still attacking the list although in less obnoxious  ways.

OK, I give up! I have the mad max blocked on my email, but I do believe that 

Matt "banned" him from the lists???? So what's up with that? statute of 

limitations run out?
