Annual time is comming up and wanted to get a sense of whether folks use any type of lubrication on the electric trim jackscrew (Ray Allen servo). I've had the airplane flying for five years now, and never have lubed it, my thinking being that a lubricant would just attract dust, which would do more damage than not lubing it.

Your thoughts please.

Jerry, you got me thinks about this...

So I called Ray Allen and was told that there is no need to service the servos.
I fact he said not to oil/grease them, because that would just cause dirt to collect.
I guess just keep running then until they quite working and the replace then.
