What is the strongest thin cable available?
A friend of mine inherited an awesome but big ass hand-made airplane model from his uncle. It weights a lot (I'd say easily 60lb+) as it was made of solid wood. The idea of my friend is to hang it so it looks like it's suspended mid-air. What would the thinnest strong cable to achieve such feat? And if so, where to get it in Vancouver?
I thought about piano wire as it can easily withstand hundreds of lbs. But it's not exactly thin and quite visible.

Your local fishing specialist (not Walmart, but a true fishing/outdoor store) will be able to help you find some fishing line that will hold it. A proper store has everything from the transparent plastic line we all think of, all the way to braided stainless line for shark fishing.
Bonus points, they will have eyelets and such for tying which make your hanging job look good too.
