Kevlar on Pull Pull
Anybody using Kevlar for their pull-pull cables? Do they last? Do they stretch? Is braided steel better?

Re: Kevlar on Pull Pull
I've used both and prefer the steel cable. The kevlar however does not need guide tubes when crossed.

Re: Kevlar on Pull Pull
The Kevlar is tend to wrap when it touches the wood or worse the fiber
I prefer a good fishing steel coated cable 200lb is more then enough and cost less

Re: Kevlar on Pull Pull
Need to know what size plane, I have used 30 lb test, 6lb diameter braided fishing line (power pro or spiderwire) on small stuff but I have only used coated steel on bigger stuff. The fishing line is real easy to work with. you just tie a knot and hit it with some thin CA.

Re: Kevlar on Pull Pull
Kevlar will work. But I would strongly suggest using eyelets or some kind of rounded attachpoint for the kevlar to loop through at either end. Sullivan makes some nice 4-40 size eyelets that will work. Anothe rthing about kevlar it will stretch some what - I used on my first giant scale G202 and then switched it out for cable. I didn't like the stretch - more of a matter of preference really.

Re: Kevlar on Pull Pull
I like the Kevlar much better than the cables..I use the SWB pull-pull turnbuckles and it works really well.I get the kevlar from here..I have it on my WH 50cc Edge and EF 50cc Yak

Re: Kevlar on Pull Pull
Many thanks, guys. I will leave the Kevlar in the Yak and watch it carefully. Generally when the guys at TBM recommend something, I give it a try and these pull-pull cables were certainly easy to setup.

Re: Kevlar on Pull Pull
I have the kevlar cables on a 3 Meter comp arf 330 and I am using steel cable on my 40% Carden 330 and I prefer the steel cables. The kevlar works just fine, I have just had better luck with the steel.
