Kevlar lines
 

Hi Folks
Just seen some info. about kevlar lines; haven't come across these before this side of the pond! Seems that it would be the way to go. Anybody using them? If so are there any disadvantages.

Cheers

They have been discussed on SSW, if the ones you saw were Sullivan "Tuff-Strand" the consensus is not good. I have tried them and they are a poor subsitute for steel cables. They are a lot bigger in cross section ( kind of flat also) and result in high drag,line bow, and reduced control feel. On the plus side they make excellent non-metallic binding material for sewing landing gear wire to plywood mounts, or would make a good stooge release line.
