Asking a question and taking this thread off on a tangent:
Been thinking about using some Spectra for rudder cables. Other than the
obvious poor heat tolerance, which shouldn't be a factor in my case for
rudder
cables, what other problems, ecpected or unexpected, might I encounter if
I
were to experiment in this manner? Abrasion, stretch, creep, and
attachment
methods have already been considered.
Anyone already using Spectra for control cables?
Yes. The Sparrowhawk ultralight sailplane.

What is Spectra, and what advantage does it have over steel cable?
