Europa-List: Lubrication & Stall Strips

[Jim Butcher <europa@triton.net>]

Getting ready for first flight I find references in the Owners Manual to 
lubrication,
particularly the tailplane torque tubes and drive pins and the door latches.
What lubricants have others used on these items? 

Also the Owners Manual states that stall strips are mandatory.  Is this an old
reference to the Classic and not required on the XS?

Thanks
