As per other discussions on sticking ailerons recently, I don't find any recommendations in the instructions on what type of grease to use on parts like the aileron horns where they rotate and contact the supporting angles in the wings. I noticed that you need to be real careful how tight you torque the mounting bolts through the horns, but also found that normal "axel grease" gets kind of stiff in cold weather. As I put my wings together, I wonder what others are using for a lubricant on the aileron horn pivot?

List,
I've been using plain old motor oil for 9 years on my HD aileron bellcranks.
No problem.
