Joe, Lightning Bolt quads are equipped with aluminum wire, not stainless
steel...or, at least that's what came with mine. The aluminum wire will not
withstand much abuse from handling/bending and it definitely won't survive a
kink...but, once in place and under tension on the spreaders, it seems to be
pretty much impervious to wind and ice. Mine has been in the air and
survived the capricious Southern Illinois weather for 5 years without a
problem.
The wire that came with mine was aluminum MIG welding wire available from
your local welding/machine shop supply house or, I'm sure, Lightning Bolt
will sell you enough to restring your quad.
