Skyborn Electronics

Skyborn Electronics of Garland, TX, now offers components to build a complete power system from battery to servos with 18 gauge wire for modelers who fly large scale airplanes, helicopters, and turbine-powered jets. The unique thing about this wire is that it is compatible with standard R/C connectors. The wire is described as a special 18-ga., very flexible, with thin silicon insulation on the wire. The wire itself is tinned copper with a circular area of 1620 mils, and a twisted 7-strand 161 filament construction for strength and maximum conductivity. By the way, a Circular Mil is a unit of area equal to the area of a circle whose diameter is 1 mil (0.001 inch). A larger number is better. I looked up the specs on 18-ga. wire and found it has a resistance of just over ( www.skybornelectronics.com )
