Default Kevlar

Hey guys, Sullivan has kevlar for control line models, instead of the old braided steel cable. They call it "Tufstrand" and one spool has two lines 60' long, so 120' per spool. Tower has it for $10.49 per spool, or about 87 cents per ft. BigBird1, how does that price compare to your source? I picked up a spool at the LHS and I've been using it for pull - pull controls. I like your idea of using kevlar for stab bracing. My flat wires aren't light but, that's the price you pay for scale realism!
