Dave, what is the "correct" type of grease to use?

Opinions vary.

Of course, this is RAS ;-)

Some sort of white lithium grease it probably best.

I used to use white lithium...
Advantage: really easy to see if its clean.
Disadvantage: less "slippery" than some other greases,
does tend to cake up.

I have used just plain vaseline, and have also seen it act
more like glue than grease...

Right, not recommended.

I'm not sure what I'm using now: Lange provides good grease
in a big syringe in the pouch that holds the pins. It lasted
for assemblies for 900 hours of flying, then they gave me a new
syringe. I'll make sure its provided to you with your new Antares.

The synthetics like Superlube are really good.

See ya, Dave "YO electric"
