With the heavy lubes being discussed are you supposed to wash it off
the motors between flying sessions? I had a bad experience at USIC a
few years ago when I made up a lot of motors with some of this stuff a
few weeks beforehand and all broke at very low torques. I've also heard
of mystery lubes used by Wakefield flyers that work great but destroy
the rubber.

Another question about the thick lubes would be how much weight do you
add to an indoor motor when lubing with high viscosity lube? Since Fred
flies F1D I guess the answer is not much, but I would guess you have to
be careful.
