[NSRCA-discussion] Pull-pull setups

[Ron Van Putte]

My two cents.  Kevlar is inherently far better than steel pull-pull  
cable from a temperature sensitivity standpoint.  It hardly changes  
length at all.  It is stronger than a comparable steel cable.   
However, it is far more sensitive to fraying on rough edges, like  
fuselage exit points.  If you plan to protect against fraying, use  
kevlar, otherwise use steel cable.
