U/C line as pull-pull on 2meter

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've been using it for years. Got the idea from Tony Frackowiak.

I've used it for quite a while with no problems. It is on the 2M OTOP I am currently flying.

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!
