Post by: Brent Williams on December 28, 2017, 07:55:49 PM: Here is another option. A few planes around these parts have been built with this cable.
This 1/32" (.031") 3x7 cable is very flexible which is nice to help prevent the random hanger rash induced kink in your leadouts.

- 3x7 hollow core has three strands of wire rope with seven wires in each strand, formed helically around a hollow core
- 3x7 hollow core is flexible and fatigue-resistant

Who has .032" 7 strand stainless cable?

I got several types from McMaster-Carr.

Post by: Dan McEntee on December 28, 2017, 09:07:25 PM: What is your concern with .027" cable" ? Do you really think the .005" would make a big difference? Remember, you are flying on .018" lines. Each lead out is nearly .010" larger.
Type at you later,

Post by: Howard Rush on December 29, 2017, 09:56:48 AM: I used them. I got different types— maybe not all from McM— to pick the smoothest. The 7-strand stuff was pretty much all the same.

Post by: Steve Helmick on December 29, 2017, 01:12:13 PM: You can also get Sevenstrand (brand) cable from Cabela's, but the problem is that they rate it by pound test and not diameter. If you have a Cabela's store nearby, take a micrometer and you're good. If you have to order online, not so much. Make sure you do NOT get the plastic coated version. D>K Steve

Post by: Jim Svitko on January 08, 2018, 05:29:53 PM: Regarding the stranded 0.031 cable: 1 X 7 and 7 X 7 are available from sources such as McMaster-Carr. Which of these two is preferred?

The 7 X 7 is more flexible but the strands are thinner. Would it be more susceptible to individual strands fraying and breaking where it goes thru the leadout guide? As for the 1 X 7, it is stiffer and coarser. Would it tend to "saw" thru the leadout guide, especially if the guide were nylon?

Post by: Robert Zambelli on January 08, 2018, 05:42:51 PM: This company has some stainless multi-strand cable.
I've used it many times in industry - top quality stuff.
