My maintenance manual for the Airmaster 308 hub, stated to do inspections on
the new hub at 25 hours, 50 hours, and then ,at each hundred hours thereafter.
We found corrosion in some of the bearings at the 200 hour inspection. We
replaced the bearings and started doing inspections at fifty hours. We live in
Florida and the humidity was the cause of the corrosion. I started using white
zinc oxide grease (as used in the marine industry) which appears at this point
to have solved my problem.
