Throttle/Collective BASE lube

@Apar  @MustangSally @Draken35 Disassembled the Orion Base for the Winwing Collective (easier than I thought it would be) and applied NyoGel PG-44A Super Damping Grease (5g Tube) to the friction dampers. Zero stiction now.

I followed this description from another forum: Take the top of the case off - 4 screws and 2 axis connections. Remove both throttle hall sensors - 2 screws. Remove complete centre assembly, by removing bottom of case - 6 screws. Once you have the centre assembly separated, remove the bolts that hold each half together. Lever one side away and you'll see the clear plastic circular strip...this needs the grease applied on the inside. Carry out the same on the other side. Be careful of the spring detentes, they will fall out.

In the last pic above I'm pointing at one of the friction damper assemblies exposed. It's that plastic ring, which only looks black because there's still the original grease underneath. The ring slips off, and you clean it then apply the new damper grease. Repeat on the other side. It's a game changer.

Also disassembled mine about 2 weeks ago and added the Nyogel. I don't use the extension as mines bolted to the underside of my Taurus.

What, pics not good enough for ya? 🙂    No vid was recorded. Besides, you've already done the steering damper mod so not much point for you.  But the patient is doing just fine after successful surgery, better than factory condition. No stiction at all.
