Happy New Year Friends!

This week on the podcast, we’re talking about simple fixes with just a little lubrication.  Sometimes on airplanes, there are parts that might need some lube, that can easily be overlooked.  We have several of these examples in today’s episode.  Here they are:

  1. A Beechcraft Debonair with a starter problem.
  2. A Mooney M20J with a speedbrake issue.
  3. An A36 Bonanza with a “GND COMM” switch that would not turn off.
  4. An Aerostar with a nose gear steering problem.

In the end, all of these situations were solved with some simple lubrication… spray silicone, LPS-1, and a grease gun with a special adapter, were what solved the problems.  Listen to the audio to get the details, and consider any areas on your airplane that might need a little lube.

AND… be looking for some pictures on Instagram in the near future… I’m planning to open an Instagram account for Airplane Owner Maintenance real soon.

Have  a great weekend!
