what about for schumacher plated wire? what do you all use for that type?

The wire we always used and some of my LHS's still carry is Piano wire.

yeah, there should be a selection of music wire at your LHS, typically used for airplane control links or whatever else. they have a bunch of sizes, and .078"does sound about right......find something close and cut and bend....just be careful, too tight a radius and it will snap.

i use K&S 1/16 music wire. lighter and a lot easier to work with. you could put a kink into it so the wing tubes could hold onto the wing and you don't lose it during a race.
