[John Tvedte]

Scott,
 
What kind of insulation does this wire have?  Teflon, PVC...?  Price?

After talking to Dynon about what to use I bought 4 pair, shielded 24
awg stranded cable.  With my TIT  prope that will give me 3 extra
pairs.  Omega was the only online source I could find.  Newark only has
single pair unshielded cable.

The multipair cable is lighter and quite a bit smaller(diameter) than
running single pair cables even with the extra pair.  With 4 pair cable
I will be running 2 cables to each side of the engine, one type K and
one type J, instead of running 6 single pair cables to each side.

Dynon said that with the long run for a pusher combined with the glass
airframe I should use shielded.
