I am going to jump in here and perhaps create a stink.  But, it is not
absolutely required that you use Teflon coated wire.  This issue came up a
while back when someone observed that Grand Rapids Tech does not supply TFE
wire with their EIS.  Greg at GRT (I think) provided some pretty good
information about the PVC vs. Teflon wire issue.  Both will emit toxic gases
when burned.  Yes the TFE is better but not totally safe. TFE is tougher
than PVC.  As Jim suggests, use Teflon whenever you can, but it is not
absolutely required.  There's a lot of other toxic plastic in your
Velocity - avionics, air vents, AND the airframe!!!
