i just saw the Bearing Greaser on readyheli,
it's nothing new, i first saw it a couple of years ago but forgot about it until now.
my question:
anyone used it on the H200?
it looks useful,but wouldn't the tiny bearings packed with grease produce a lot of drag?? (maybe wrong though)
i'm not even sure it will work with bearings that small.
anyone??

No, it won't produce any appreciable amount of extra drag; excess grease will ooze out on the first spool up, and the pressure is equalibriumed; but I'll tell You one thing; that grease that comes with it won't sling out ! It will stay put; so grease once and forget about it. Bearings will last virtually forever; you will crash and replace them first.
Tail bearings might wear out, but they will last far longer with this sticky grease over oil.
HOWEVER, the GREASER itself was designed for larger helis (600). The smaller bearings will just fall through the throat.
On my T-REX 450, it will grease most all bearings but the tail and head bearings.
I still use the grease; just put it into a C.A. hyperdermic applicator; center the tip on the race and squish the grease in that way. You will seep it guysering out of the race when You force it in like that; either that way or just knead it in with Your thumb, wipe, and press some more over and over.
I don't like oil, except on the shafts.
