Does anyone have any experience using this product?. If so what are the Pro's and Con's. Are they impervious to model engine fuel and are they as strong as stainless steel ones?

the air drag is to high to be usable. A poor attempt to save ourselves from stupid people and lawyers.

Remember, for every plaintiff's lawyer, there is a defense lawyer. And, with the exception of medical malpractice.--which is usually a piece of cake to defend (unless you have problem doctor that badly needs to be sued, but is overly protected by his colleagues)--our job is a lot harder than a plaintiff's lawyer. I build planes, I fly planes, I play guitar in a band, I like remodeling projects and building cabinets. I'm a trained aircraft mechanic and pretty fair shade-tree car mechanic. The more I wash my shirts, the bluer the collar gets. I'm just like everyone else here, but I happened to have brain-cloud one day and went to law school. I can think of more fun endeavors, but nothing that would pay me enough to pay the bills and the student loans.

And, no I'm not offended by lawyer jokes or digs. A lot of times they are true!

On the question posed, I've wondered, but been warned away from the Tuf-Strand lines and have never tried them.

I have tried them. (for one flight, years ago) They are horrible. They have a huge bow in them when you fly due to the excessive drag.
when you give up or down, the airplane's response is slow.

If you must, buy a set and try them. You won't like them.


They do make good stooge release lines, though.

In a pinch, they also make decent shoe laces.
