JBJ...
I actually HAVE used aircraft cable (850lb test, if you're talking about 1/4" stranded, jacketed cable, although I've never heard of it being called aircraft cable) to hang several large Da-Lite Screens...but they are snugged to heating ducts, so they don't move at all...
and the funny thing is, the cable is the WEAKEST part of the system...the rest of the rigging I used (including the crimps) is rated at 1050lbs plus, PER POINT, times 4...so, for my 100 pound screens, I have basically OCTUPLED (spelling, meaning?) the weight rating per corner (taking into consideration the weakest link)...
I would think, when properly anchored, that kind of system would suspend a 100 pound TV no prob, even if it did sway a little...
