Thanks

I'm like you...I worry about 3.25 per foot in an aeroplane which will cost
eventually in the region of USD60k.  

Is this ac grade stuff - do you get it from AC Spruce?

William,

CCA is "Copper Clad Aluminum"  The aluminum strands of wire are clad with
copper using a cold fusion process, similar to friction welding.  This stuff
has all of the wieght advantages of aluminum, but none of the disadvantages
when it comes to terminating it.

I am told you can even solder this stuff with regular lead/tim solder.  I
have a short piece so I must try this to see if its true.  It weights almost
half as much as the copper equivalent.

The down side is that #4 costs about US $3.25 per foot.

Paul
