All bearings, tail slider , main shaft slider.DONT USE ON THE BELT.    Use a light oil like 3 in 1. Dont use too much it attracts dust and grit.
I must remember .... when inverted .... down is up and up is down .

Tail slider and mainshaft bearing. I use Ballistol gun oil, a very clean
and good oil and as said before, don't use too much.

Oil like 3 in 1/triflow or similar for shafts, swash, sliders, bearings, bushings and very carefully motor bearings, silicone spray for ball links and belt. (silicone spray doesnt pick up dirt as much as oil)
