Ty, Ya' might try a piano shop, lot's of time they have music wire in different size's, also McMaster-Carr might have what you are looking for...
  Ya' gonna make the contest here in Oct?  We are gonna fly just profile stunt on Sat, engine size is max allowed by AMA, hope that ya' can make it...

Hi TY,

Might try soaking the wire in a bucket with some *little blue pills*..........

McMaster-Carr is what I would do.

Use a bender with a decent radius, just don't try to make a sharp corner.  Looks pretty but is stress riser city!
