Hi!
I use 15 lbs wire (Thinnest possible wire) on side rudder on my Yak-54 powered by a MVVS 45cc engine.

Wow, I would guess something more like 60 to 100 lbs. I have left over 60 lb, but again don't know if this will work.
Thanks for the response.

I don't have the test strength on my wire that I have at the moment but it is .23 and .30 thick braded stainless steel wire with the plastic coating. They both work but I was getting some stretch with the thinner wire. I think {think} it is 30lb and 60lb wire but not real sure. I get my wire at Bass Pro. Very good stuff!!
