Does this wire holds its shape? I need 1mm wire to make pushrods for my rc plane.

I purchased this wire hoping for something bendable like a paper clip. It was extremely stiff, and would probably work well as a push rod. The stuff was pretty inexpensive. Might be worth the $ to find out. Hope that helps.

This wire is used to make springs.It is wound around a mandrel. If it were heated to red hot and quenched in water or oil it would become very hard,stiff and brittle.

As a push-rod material, this wire is springy so it wiggles a bit over long distances (1 ft+), but you can solve any issues by guiding it through the plane with a tube or zip ties. You can bend it to shape but you will need 2 needle nose pliers to bend sharp angles with it. It's tricky to use z-bends on this sort of wires, because it is hard to bend. You really need linkage stoppers, forget right z bends for trimming.

Yup, its a little bit on the heavy side but I use it for all my planes that only need short pushrods. FT Bloody Wonder, FT 3D etc.

Yes, it will hold its shape. I made some 1" diameter spring out of it. Once you bend it to the shape you want, it will hold that new shape.

It's a heavy gauge wire, but definitely not a post. I'd say it's about the same size as one strand of my very heavy-duty speaker wire. Doesn't quite disappear, but probably as minimal an appearance as you can have and still hold the light securely.

Yes it is round and properly colored wires, of green, red, yellow and black. Excellent quality of wire suitable for indoor or outdoor use.

It's like a strong thick thread. That's the best I can describe it, I don't there is anything small enough to measure the size of the wire.

It's a long piece, rolled into a cylinder, and the wire is not very stiff, so you may have trouble sticking it into hard soil. I ended up buying a few of the "Origin Point 052410 Gard'n Border Round Folding Fence", which is a stiffer wire and divided into several pieces.

I would have to say 4 gauge at the max. I got a 0/1 gauge wire and had to cut a good bit just to get it to fit in. Mines still going strong good luck!(:

No its not. The casing is really thick but even it is not full 0 gauge. Its decent wire though. So far so good

Solid wire is made of a single strand of wire. It isn't too flexible and is great for working with breadboards. Stranded wires are as the name implies, composed of multiple wires. This allows for better conductivity and more flexibility.

No, the cable is not stiff enough to hold a shape and will not hold a coiling the shape on its own as shown in the picture. It is rubber, not wire. Hope that helps.

It's fine wire bent in half...bigger than a needle head...smaller than a paper clip....I would say the size of the thread-end of a medium needle.

It is stranded wire so it has some degree of flexibility. Do not kink or make sharp bends with it and expect it not to break.

Yes it should work just fine. I use it on tiny 18 gauge (1/4" and smaller) wires.

They are made of strong rubber that holds it's shape, but could also be stretched to hold a large wire. Nice quality!

Yes, the ground wire is solid core. You don't really need a stranded wire for this application. The main factor in any use of wire in the ground is the insulation factor. You need to make sure and not scrape off any insulation while placing in the ground and if going under a graveled area, or anywhere a vehicle packs down the dirt or gravel, run it thru plastic conduit.This will keep the insulation and or wire from breaking and save some headaches.

It comes with 20 guage solid core wire as I recall, but will work with any size wire. I think that 16 to 18 gauge wire would be more durable.

Unsure about wire that may be burried. Suggest you call manufacturer and discuss with them for a definitive answer.

I used the wire to stiffen a 7 foot deer fence around our property. I used aluminum crimping sleeves once I had looped the wire around each of the fence poles. I used a crimping tool that you can buy on Amazon to squeeze the sleeves. I think they are just saying that they do not rate the wire to hold any significant weight overhead. I would imagine a 1/16 wire could fatigue. Just a guess as it was not applicable for my application.
