I will recommend this company again...  Igus is a German company with
offices in RI.  They will sell machine and data cable with no cut charge
and no minimum.  I used their CF240-xx-xx shielded cable to wire
Tracys EM2 and EC3 for my Subie pusher. I would recommend 22ga or
heavier for ease of use, you can get from 3 to 24 conductors, all color
coded.
I also used their mil spec 4 gauge for battery cables.  I didn't price
single
conductor 16ga wire, instead ordering from SkyGeek (100 ft minimum).

The best part is that this is mil spec teflon cover which conforms to FAA
recommendations (no toxic smoke if there is a fire).  And the price wasn't
bad either, my 14 conductor was less than $2 per foot in 2009.

Yes I am also working on a single rotor for future planes *:*D

Mike C I will build if you wish (but it won;t be inexpensive!!)

Their web site is unfathomable.

What is all this stuff? They need to speak english :)

I have no idea what they are talking about.

Conductors: Conductor consisting of a highly flexible special alloy
CS*
Means that the alloy of the conductor is formulated to resist fatigue breakage
from repetitive bending.


Conductor insulation: Mechanically high-quality TPE mixture
CS*
Means Resists abrasion, yet electricly insulating

Conductor twisting: Conductors stranded in one layer with especially short pitch
length.
CS*
Means many turns per inch.

Conductor colors: In accordance with DIN 47100.
CS*
References a standard for color coding

Inner Jacket: TPE
CS*
ThermoPlasticElastomer

Shield: Alloy strand braid, coverage approx. 90% optical
CS*
The sheild will cover 90% of the inner jacket that you can see

Outer jacket: Low-adhesion mixture on the basis of TPE.
CS*
Outer jacket bond to the sheild is easily broken, allows for flexibility and
reduces sheild bunching.

Especially abrasion-resistant and highly flexible. Silicon-free in compliance
with PV
3.10.7 - status 1992. Color: dark blue (RAL 5011).

Technical Data

Minimum bending radius, moving: 4 x outer cable diameter
CS*
In an application that is subject to repetitive motion, minimum radius of a
cable bend no les than four times the diameter of the cable.


Minimum bending radius, fixed: 3 x outer cable diameter
CS*
In an application where nothng will move, a minimum bend is no less than three
times the diameter of the cable

Permissible temperature, moving: -31°F to +194°F (-35°C to +90°C)
CS*
In application where the cable is subject to motion, operating temperature
min/max

Permissible temperature, fixed: -40°F to +194°F (-40°C to +90°C)
CS*
In an application where the cable does not move T min/Max


UV-resistance: High
CS*
Sunlight takes a long time to destroy the insulation


Oil-resistance: High
CS*
Oil takes a long time to destroy the insulation

Voltage: 300V
CS*
Maximum working voltage for conductors

Testing voltage: 1500 V
CS*
Insulation tested at 1500 volts and still meets insulative standard

Regulations: CE, RoHS: 2002/95/EC
CS*
References to various international electrical standards that this cable/wire
complies with.

Typical application areas
Typical Applications

* for maximum load requirements at 4 x d
* indoor and outdoor applications
* especially for short, very fast applications with small radii and tight
design space
* automatic insertion machines. automatic doors, cleanroom, very quick
handling, low temperature locations
