I'm considering using U/C control line as pull-pull wire on my 2-meter. Found it in the store today and it seems very light, and only about .5mm thick. Does anyone have any experience with it for R/C use?

I used to use UC wire for my control surfaces until I figured out that over a few hundred flights the cable had been sawing away at the tube, gone through the tube and then was cutting away at my formers.
After taht I chose to switch to nylon coated wire trace material.
I can't see any problem with using u control lines for cables, but ensure that the cable runs are straight and there is no possibility of sawing your plane in half!
