Purchasing Kevlar cord
Earlier this year I was able to purchase a few yards of Kevalr cord. This cord was about the same diameter as kite string. I have now used all of my purchase and need more. Does anyone know of a source for kevlar. K&S sells a very small size kevlar material but it is now large enough. I have found the size I am looking for in a package that also contains pull pull hardware, but I do not need the hardware.

Purchasing Kevlar cord
There is a supplier with kevlar control lines for small models.
There is one problem. The thread has been waxed I think to keep it in one strand.
I have also tried kevlar sailmaking thread and that has the same disadvantage.
I am now using a 1/8" kevlar ribbon obtained from one of your very good composite suppleirs in Ca. First rate stuff too.

ACP sells kevlar with a vinyl jacket called Kev-Cord. Wonderful stuff. Two thicknesses available, but I have never needed anything thicker than the thinner of the two. Used on up to 35% planes pull-pull systems.
