I bought this multipurpose spray cleaning PCBs  but found that it could also be used as lubricant and its non sticky too!

I would be starting my HK-450 assembly soon and was wondering if using it with shaft/swash plate, tail rotor etc would be safe ? HK-450 SE has lots of plastic and I fear if Zorrik 88 does not eat in plastics.

Has any one used it ?

I think using Zorrik88 is pretty much the same as using WD-40..

I use it on door hinges and locks and works well, this may not be a good solution for motor bearings / high temp operation. On such places please use triflo. every product has its own specific use.

I believe u can use it on swash plate - shaft. at its metal to metal contact. and there is no much friction as swash plate and shaft rotate hand in hand.

i would not recommend to use any lubricant on the heli at all (except for the sealed bearing parts), you dont want dust collecting expecially in helis and defeating the purpose of using the lubricant itself.

To my knowledge, Zorrik and WD 40 are similar and neither are lubricants, in the true sense. They are moisture repellents and help free "frozen" parts.

Zorrik is a cleaner and lubricant. As I said, they are good for hinges locks etc, not for High Speed stuff.
