Default RE: Stunt Chimp

I saw Spider Wire fishing line mentioned for use on control line planes. I know the .049 planes were commonly flown on dacron lines. Has anyone used Spider Wire for small models? I appreciate all the input. The tips on balance point and prop and fuel recommendations should help toward a successful start, though I suspect things will get broken pretty quickly. But not a lot of investment for the excitement of the noisey engines and challenge of getting the planes to fly a cicuit or two. I'm still thinking about a finish. I know the planes are going to take a beating , but I want them to look attractive enough to interest the youngsters. Would Econocote be too heavy? I have some clear hot fuel proof dope and a small amount of colored fuel proof dope, but I'm afraid of warping the sheet balsa wings. I would like some recommendations.
