Quick question for the TM guys who have foot controls set up. Do you use coated wire or paracord for the steering cables?

I don't have a TM but my experience with paracord is it flexes too much to be used for a foot control. My opinion would be to use coated wire. That is what they use for the rudder kits on the Ride 135.
Forgiveness is devine but never pay for late pizza.

RR, I'm using the rudder controls for my Commander, which are the same wires as the Ride 135, other than the length.

The wires are what I originally had (and still do) I was just thinking the paracord might be quieter. I'll stick with the wire. I've already cut it and rigged it anyway.
Thanks guys!
