[TowerTalk] Noisy US Tower HDX572mdpl

I have exactly the same tower and have had exactly the same problem. Bee's Wax is the solution. Do not use anything else (grease, etc.). As the tower nears reaching  its fully extended position, the  outer most movable section    can bind on the inside of the stationary outer section. There are flanges on the first movable section that slide on the stationary section and you only need to apply the bee's wax at the top inner parts of the stationary section where it is binding . You will see where it is needed as it elevates to full extension. 


The bee's wax comes in blocks and can be purchased from a larger hobby supplier.
