Safety Wire

I need to order safety wire, but I'm not quite sure what to order. Aircraft Spruce has 5 different sizes available. What size do I need (and how much) for a 9A? I tried to find some reference to it in the manual and maintenance books I have, but didn't have any luck.
 
Safety wire quantities

I suggest: (after double-checking what I use)
1 lb of .032 (most used)
25ft of .041 (may never need but it is less than $2)

The above will be enough for the build and many many years of maintenance.

get a lb of .025 and .032 I find that .032 is the one I use the most. about the only thing that you will use .041 for is props and most prop manufactures approve of .032, but I prefer .041 on props.

.032 for almost everything, .041 fro the prop.. I almost never use .025 at all.. not really sure where you would use .025.
 
.032 used the most

Correction - I checked the size I use most and it is .032 and not .025.
I must be spending too much time with .025 sheet metal at the moment...

My apologies!
