MK control horns

[Jerry Budd]

Keith,

Spray a small amount of brake parts cleaner in the bearings (using 
the little plastic tube) after each flying session and they'll stay 
nice and clean.  The cleaner flushes out the grit & oil and 
evaporates completely away in less than a minute.  I've been using it 
for a couple of years now with no ill effect on the fittings or the 
paint/monokote next to it that usually gets caught in the crossfire. 
I also use it to clean the tailwheel assembly.  It's inexpensive and 
it works great.

Jerry
