Winch wire

[Spdsk8er]

I was at lowes today, and i found this 1/16 ( i think) steel wire. It looks perfeect for a winch. It doesnt bend well, and it looks scale! and its 27 cents per foot!

sweet, i'm not shure what people use for winch wire, but i was thinking bike brake cables. they are super strong, thats what my toe cable is made out of.

You also could use piano wire or a heavy spiderwire fishing line.

I would use braided fishing line, like Spiderwire as HaPtOAD mentioned, instead of actual wire. It would be more flexible, and won't kink.

spiderwire by far. Super light and super strong for what it is

X's 4 for the Spiderwire

i found that the cable used on large ucontrol airplanes is very flexible and thin less than 1/16th dia. which is what i use . i used a lead crush sleeve that is used on model sailboats and gives you a good scale look

Guitar strings, just pick your size.

The only problem with brake cables is they kink fairly easily
