Transmitter maintenance

[Bill Glaze]

And I wouldn't use WD-40 either.  I've found out by experience that after a period of time, the stuff turns into a dielectric.  (At least, it used to.)
And, I've then had a terrible time removing it.

  Windex with ammonia is corrosive. I have ruined glasses with it.

    The telescoping antenna can be cleaned with Windex.  Pull the antenna all the way out.  Spray the antenna with Windex.   Push the antenna all the way in and then out again a couple of times.  With the antenna all the way out wipe it off with a paper towel or clean cloth.  The clean antenna should easily extend and collapse after the cleaning.

     

    I don't know what to advise concerning the squeaking throttle stick.

    Hi guys,

     

    I'm looking for some advise on "mechanical " transmitter maintenance. 

     

    1.      My antenna is sliding very difficulty in and out: Can I use some kind of grease, or is that not a good idea?

    2.      My throttle stick is squeaking: same question

     

     

    Thanks!!

     

    Patrick
