I'ts a power converter for my Solar RC plane.
The inductors and the wires carying the current to the motor are a
significant part of the power system weight.

Looking for 12 or 14 Ga AL magnet wire, square would be better, round is acceptable.

Why? It's way less conductive than copper, so unless you're making an
air-wound coil that needs to save a few ounces I can't see how you'd
save anything using Al over Copper.

But I'm willing to be educated.
