Tom,
I have used Kevlar on Int Stick and F1D (old rules). I believe I used
4-5 strands on my Int Stick (models in the 700mg or less range). I have
2 strands on my 35 cm model. I treat it like wire, I always wrap around
front bearing and rear hook then glue it to the bracing posts. I think
it holds much better than wire. The wire seems to always slip. That is
why I switched to Kevlar wing ans stab bracing, even on my HLS model.
