ATK708: Craft wire 0.5mm

Strong thin craft wire used for pulling wires through silicone tube.

  • Manufacturer: Various
  • Product ID: Various

Dragging silicone wires through silicone tubes, as we do with the Spitfire MkIX throttle quadrant, is not easy as the friction causes the wire to stick. Craft wire like this is a good solution. A length of at least 60cm is needed. Aluminium has good strength for this.

These must be a small round head as some designs include cavities for the head. You could use a non phillips head fitting but it isn’t recommended as the screws are just a bit harder to handle.

ATK21220: Ethernet Cable 200cm

Cat5/Cat6 Network/Ethernet patch cable 200cm

  • Manufacturer: Various
  • Product ID: Various

Standard network cable (not a cross-over type). Obviously black is best. No need to get the more expensive shielded or latest cat 6 – there is very little data transfer going on.

This is the longest network cable you are likely to need and is only needed for flight controls which are on the other side of the pilot to the Universal Hub. An example is the landing gear lever on the Spitfire. Most cables are 50cm and 100cm length.

You can pay almost anything you like for an ethernet cable but a basic one for around £2 will be fine – black is obviously the best colour.
