Title: under gear washer
Post by: Petah on January 18, 2019, 11:29:19 PM
Thoughts about using a smooth drag washer under the gear??? Since it's impregnated with teflon , would it give the benefits of giving a smoother drag and a small amount of increased drag?

Better to use either a hard fiber or plastic thrust washer under main gear. Drag material will get chewed up
