Just maiden a Vario today and all was fine execpt for the white power I found on the frame and pinion gear. Is this normal?

Thanks

Gears are seating in. If you put your thumb and move it does it rotate without binding?

How were the first flights?

same as I ever was
"Still all set & Flying the original"

It does not bind. I figure the gears are setting in but was not sure. A fellow pilot claims he never saw that on his few Varios.

I only hovered it to trim her and handed it off to another better pilot and he flew it around abit. He reccomended to add a little expo and off to the new proud Vario owner Rocco.

The did great and I had to leave a bit. When I got home the weights order arrived. Went back to the field and added the weights and Rocco hovered it and took off his hands yelling LOOK hands off. I took him I will not rebuild his Vario due to stuipd stunts.

He told me to fly it but I refused since it's not mine. Once it's setup I'm done, unless he is having problems.

I have to add, PUCKER factor was high!

On the first few flights, that is normal. It is nothing to worry about.

Very good job done!

If I were you, I would clean off the white debris and see if it has finished wearing in. Not good to leave in on there anyway.

Yes, I told him to clean it up and moniter after every flight.

Thanks

Put a light coat of vario titanium grease on the gears and that will take care of it.
