Yep lack of mechanics that know the quirks of the Enstrom is a problem. If you read earlier the previous owner got duped by one around here. Leaves me with noone. My mechanic and I will have to learn to do it ourselves. I plan on attending the factory training, but seems that focuses on the 480 more than piston. I guess all is the same or similar, but this is a 70s vintage bird. I hope the maintenance manual will help with the grip friction or I can get up and see the previous mechanic that rebuilt this in the past.
