Default What pull-pull to use?

I strung up a pull-pull and am having problems with it! At first i used the spectra line supplied by fancy foam, but it went slack rather quickly. I had PowerPro 65lb test spectra line laying around and used that. Seemed to work fine in my 70degree house, but when I went outside, it went totally slack. Went back in the house, and within 30 seconds, it was tight again!

What do you guys use for you pull-pulls on foamies? Any suggestions for something I would be able to pick up locally rather than order?

I've found the temp changes affect the depron, not the cables. The depron expands in the warm and contracts in the cold. When the plane shrinks, the cables get loose. The solution, set up the plane and fly indoors. If it's an outdoor foamy and cold outside, don't fly or fly with slack in the cables. If you have ez connectors securing your cables, you can tighten them outside in the cold, then lossen them before going inside.
