    MAINTENANCE MAINTENANCE Take a look at the red parts. Check them frequently. All other parts are not particularly subject to wear. The lifespan of these components varies according to the type of flying. On average it is recommended to check these parts every 20 flights. In some instances, based on wear, these parts should be replaced every 100 flights. Periodically lubricate the tail slider movement and its linkages as well as the swash plate movement and its linkages.
