If it's a semi-important flight, I'll use the stuff Fred Tellier gave me which he lifted from General Motors when he worked there. Says they use it for rubber/neoprene bearings lube, etc. I like the viscosity, but have no idea what its base is--possibly silicone, but it has a distinct odor, unlike straight silicone. For unimportant flights, I'll use any common lube, such as regular non-dehydrated Son of a Gun, or whatever turns up in the tool box--have leftovers from experimenting with all, and can't distinguish significant differences at least concerning turns/inch. Weight per effect is the main issue, IMO. I might be using FAI Slick Lube for everything, but it seems necessary to wash it off motors for storage, and I'm not organized enough to do that every time.
