So far I haven't been able to tell the difference. i think mil spec wire insulation is tefzel vs PVC (non-hazardous fumes when melting) and it also has many more strands which makes it more flexible and less likely to break. gary ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 08:48:31 AM PST US Subject: RE: Engines-List: mil wire From: "Hinde, Frank George (Corvallis)" --> Engines-List message posted by: "Hinde, Frank George (Corvallis)" Take an old car battery and short a 3ft length of wire between the terminals in the open air...The insulation will immediately melt and ignite and the tick black fumes are highly toxic. There is a real chance you will pass out before you can land the plane. I had a behind the dash panel fire in my old MG at night once...Believe me its horrifying!....Don't do it!
