Mark,
From where, who or what dir you learn or hear that one must wash off FAI's Sil-Slick lube from motors before storage? Is there any evidence showing that we must? I have never done so and sure hope that it has not damaged my motors.

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.
