Looking for a good grease recommendation for general use around the
glider (main pins, ball fittings, etc.). Something locally available
in the US would be preferred! Anything that I should definitely stay
away from?

Thanks,

i use white lithium grease on my wing pins, but thats the only thing i
have to grease.

I use Mobile One 100% synthetic grease.
Doesn't run when warm.
Doesn't harden when cold.
Great RED color.

My A&P remarked on the recent annual - too much grease is an invitation
to abrasive dust. Less is more.

I use STP Oil Treatment on wing pins, lift pins, L'Hotellier balls and
sockets, and stabilator pins.

Thanks all for the info. Glad to hear that nobody is using chicken
grease!

Chicken grease is terrible. Bear Fat is much better.

Anybody use Vaseline? It seems to me that this stuff would be perfect.

It's odorless, translucent and doesn't leave difficult stains on your
clothing. Acid free, repeals moisture, doesn't oxidize, protects from
UV rays, reacts with very few materials, and stays consistent over a
wide range of temperatures. Porsche even recommended the stuff for
maintenance of seals and corrosion protection for wheels.

I can't stand how messy typical grease and white lithium are.
