[TowerTalk] Cold Wx Lube for Rotators

[Sam Ferris]

Anyone ever try spray silicone lube (the colorless liquid type) to lube 
rotor brake wedges on T2X or Ham IV's.  I have had considerable problem 
getting the brakes to release in cold weather (i.e. -20 and below) even 
with the rotator wrapped in an electric battery blanket. Have tried 
low temperature snowmobile lithium/teflon grease but still encounter 
problems.  

Many Thanks ... Sam .. VE5SF
