Ha ha ha lol! I love Ras. But I think everyone missed the meaning in the first post, my fault for not making it clear. The Rods that attach to the Ventus B OUT at the aileron are a 12mm solid rod that are canted at the aileron and then go through a slide opening of just a mm or 2 wider than the rod. This slide is probably 10" long and runs span wise in the wing and is made of some tough plastic Delrin or PTFE. The wear is occurring on the Stainless solid rods which I am sure the factory intended as they made them solid. And anyone who has as much time in a Ventus B as I do will surely understand how they can be used enough to wear. So back to the original, any good ideas of a dry lubricant that will help prevent wear on the rods?

My fallback on lubes like this is either LockEze or powdered graphite. LockEze is graphite in a fast flash liquid so the lube gets where it's needed.
-It does not gum
-It's dry (thus stay's clean)
-It does not (as far as I know) mess with possible future repairs (like silicone can do)
-You can get it at hardware stores, auto stores, Home Depot/Lowes, etc.
