Thank-you.
I’ve got a flippi V8 and just on a whim decided to save myself some time for tearing it down.
In step 10, those screws hold the motor. The fan blades just slide on and off.
This is for the Flippi v6, but the is the same for the v8. The only difference it’s that there are 2 more screws in step 4 for the turning mechanism.
Importantly several of the parts have a specific difference between left and right. The cradle and the fan housing itself have a small and a large “bearing” for setting fan angle. The logo goes down. If they don’t match the cradle you cannot reassemble the fan. I took mine apart because the fan bearings needed oil.
What kind of oil and where exactly do you apply it? I have a couple of these that are getting noisey

I would also like to know what kind of oil and where exactly to apply it? One of mine is squeaking loud enough that I haven't been using it. Taking it apart for a thorough cleaning did not do the trick.
Thanks!
