Title: Line question...
Post by: Jim Roselle on February 09, 2014, 06:20:42 AM: I plan on ordering pre made lines from stunt hanger hobby for my twister today. I have decided on .015 x 60'. I see there is choice between 7 strand and 19 strand. What are the benefits/drawbacks of one over the other?

Thank you for your time and sorry about all the newbie questions,

Jim

Post by: Jim Roselle on February 19, 2014, 05:54:18 AM: I ordered .015x62 7 strand lines, carbon pushrods, and a handle from stunt hanger hobbies last Tuesday. Arrived on my doorstep yesterday. Excellent turnaround time.
