It is under Aramid Unidirectional on the CST web site it is Denier 195 yarn. This is the terminology used in the composites industry. The number is the weight in grams of 9000 meters of the yarn. This is confusing because only Kevlar (Aramid) uses this terminology.

I checked ACP and CST, found thread, .025, and .038 braided - I am leaning towards the thread based on thickness alone. I'm open to suggestions from someone that's been down this road already. Plan B was dental floss, but I'd rather do this project to spec. Thanks, Brent RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
