Hi GroupRudder drive is nowcompleted in our XS Monowheel.First question is what would be a good lubricant to get rid of a squeek in the Tufnal rudder pedal bushings that would not swell them?Second question is the rudder cables themselves have a bit more friction than I would like where they run through nylon tubing (slight change in direction in some areas). What would be a good lubricant for rudder cable wire rope that would not hurt nylon? (Pointer finger can move rudder pedals, but not pinkey at moment, worst deviation is 8 degrees)Ron Parigoris   [quote][b]

Hi! Ron  

IMHO just use some very light oil in the Tufnol . and don’t use any oil on the cables since it will collect grit and so cause wear. The newness will soon wear off and your  feet and legs have much more power any way then of course you need to remember that you are stretching the springs on the pedal returns.

Hi Ron,

  

 My suggestion is to ignore it.  After a while it will stop making a noise, and in a practical sense you couldn't hear it while your in flight.

  

 Cheers,  Paul
