RC Line and String for Control Line and Lacing

Not every length of line on a hobby bench does the same job, and this category separates the flying line and lacing cord that serve very different purposes. Both are chosen for a specific strength and dimension rather than whatever happens to be on hand.

Control Line Flying

Perfect 1/2A control line is intended for small control-line models, the tethered airplanes a pilot flies in circles from a set of handle lines. Matching line to the size and speed of the model keeps its handling predictable.

Lacing and Cordage

Braided lacing cordage, measuring .014 thick and .062 wide with a 50 pound test rating, bundles and secures wiring or lashes components where a flat, strong cord holds better than round string. Its woven construction lies flat against a surface and resists digging into insulation.
