"Left overs" can be anything. A particular danger with coax is moisture
creeping in at the ends. This causes huge losses. But if it hasn't been
used outside it is probably ok.

Standard recommendation is always for high quality cable. The truth is
that the lenght needed for your airplane is so small that the losses are
not meaning anything. Use the cable with the lowest weight. I used RG58
A/U for my europa and it works perfect.
