Back in that same time period we had a guy bring out a gas winch with an old

It's the "Darwin Award" equivalent for true F3B and F3J pilots in
Europe.
The "Gorilla" and Flywheel winches were descendants. Somehow,

Bill,
This is .018" wire for a DLG. You can practically tie it in a knot. It
needs a housing to take shape. The curve from the coil goes away as soon as
the push rod is in the housing.

You can get long music wire from www.smallparts.com, or from any piano
tuner. I got a huge roll from an on-line piano parts company, a
lifetime supply for sixteen bucks if I recall right.
I later found it was easier to get stainless-steel leader wire from
Bass Pro Shop. It's not as stiff as music

If you don't have to make bends, carbon-fiber rods work great, are lighter, and can be had in 4 and 8 foot lengths:

Try Mcmaster carr too.
They have coils.. The question is how tightly wrapped is the coil...
Very reasonably priced.

I tried a music store, and they seemed willing to help - it

Maybe?Good luck,

Hi Shawn,
I don't think anyone has long music wire...
Try a weld shop. I have used welding wire. normally a weld shop will give you 15 feet or so. it comes in different diameters and is not hard to straighten out enough to work. I have used it on a couple of different planes.

Anyone have a good source for 48" or longer 1/16" straight music wire
for pushrods? I have a couple of projects that 36" wire is not going
to get it.

Congratulations Paul, nice to see your LSF level looking more
