Default Wing Wires - Yokomo

I need to make up some wing wires for a couple of my Yoke's. I was going to order some piano wire but I need to know the diameter of the originals.

Anyone either used piano wire and know what diameter I need to order, or got the ability to measure the diameter of the originals please let me know.

cheers
Tim

You know piano wire may rust unless zinc / tin coated and even then once tin / zinc coating breaks down can corrode.

Why not consider using a stainless grade such as 302 or 316

For my Losi xx I used 302 and it wasn't much harder to form than piano wire.
