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.

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!(:

Yes. Mine was 18 or 20 gage solid wire. I was told stranded wire will not work because it carries a radio transmission. I have it around 5 acres and it works perfect.

Hi. It would take some pretty precise calipers to measure the thickness of this wire. It's about as thick as dental floss. And it works pretty well. Just do the knot like they tell you in the package and you'll be fine. Hope this helps.

Yes it is solid not stranded wire. I imagine stranded wire could be used along as it had some good insulation made for in ground installation. I imagine the insulation around the wire is the most important part of the whole thing and solid core is cheaper to produce.

Michael, I don't have a caliper to measure butI'd say the thickness of the wire is about the same as the pencil lead used in mechanical pencils.It's very tough stuff

Wait I had the wrong package of wires. The wire is about 5 and almost 1/2 inches. inside dimension from nub to nub. 5 7/16" but the wire is twisted back about3/4" on each end where it holds the nub and will be somewhat hard to work with.

This is multi-stranded picture-hanging wire with a soft vinyl coating. Wire and coating measure about 1/16th of an inch or about 2 mm. Tomorrow, I can measure the exact diameter with a digital calipers and send you the data. Hope this is helpful to you. H. Slovic

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.

might get a 1in at best. better off buying coil blocks to stuff in there. good luck

It should as long as the wire is stranded and not solid. This attaches by unscrewing the bottom black part, which has a hollow post in the middle with teeth on the top. The wire is fed through the center of the black part and then the strands are folded down over the teeth. The connection is then made permanent when the top part is screwed back on trapping the strands between the base and the top. I used 12 ga. and there was plenty of room for a bigger wire.

The wire is really thick and I had no problem with it cutting thick and dense styrofoam. One thing I like about the wire is you can shape it to your preferance and it keeps it. The only real problem I had, wasn't really that big of a deal, was keeping the arms tight enough.

Dear Bashir A., the wire measures 1.3 mm in diameter. Hope this is helpful. H. Slovic

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

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.

The coated wire is .062" diameter (about 1/16 inch). As best I can mike the wire itself, the diameter is .042". Thus the coating is approx. .010" thick. The wire is composed of 7 individual strands, each .012" diameter. I estimate twist in the wire at 1.5 turns per inch.

absolutely, get strong wire cutters, this is not flimsy wire mesh, its great wire. marisa
