I just wipe the oil off of the 401 after each flight.
I have never seen a 401 damaged by oil.
Once you get comfortable flying higher and get into forward flight, there is a lot less oil that will get on the gyro.

The biggest mess is when you are within one rotor diameter of the ground learning to hover.
The next big mess does not come till you start doing a lot of inverted and backwards flight.
