Also looking for some help with setting up a Mini Pred 3D

I have a Raptor 50. The manual states that the one-way clutch
(autorotation clutch) needs greasing "every couple ten flights". What
does that mean?
What type of lubrication do I use? The manual specifies purpose-made

Just got myself one of these but I'm still a relative newbie and before I
dare use it I need to get something straight in my head.
I understand that each model has a receiver which is bound to a particular
model memory in the TX and if I have the TX set to model 1 but I turn on
