Lee,

Is this solid wire the same as the .055" piano, or model airplane control wire,
you would purchase at a hobby shop?  How long have you been using it?

Also, when you change the wire, can the cable jacket be changed as well?  1.8 mm
ID bicycle cable jacket works great for the heater cables when mated with 0.055"
piano wire.  With the nylon interior jacket things move nicely.  Can I change 
the
outer jacket when I change the wire?
