Would you please tell me what regulation specifes the use of Tefzel
wiring in gliders...

Color me confuseled as well. I've designed sailplane control systems
to the dictates of 14 CFR part 23 (and JAR 22, they're quite similar),
and I often use AC43.13 as a guideline, so I'm pretty familiar with
those FAA resources. But I can't find any material in either that
dictates the use of Tefzel or its generic ETFE.

Furthermore, those of us operating Experimental, Amateur-built
aircraft are not bound by the dictates of either part 23 or AC43.13.
Those of us operating Experimental, Exhibition or Experimental, Racing
may or may not be so bound, depending on the specific language of the
operating limitations document that must accompany the special
airworthiness certificate.

Thanks, Bob K.
