Does anyone see any problems with making elevator torque rods out of threaded music wire?

I am building a Top Flite A7 Corsair. The elevator is split and has a separate torque rod for each half. The torque rods that come with the kit arent threaded so you have to mount a control horn on each one using a wheel collar (that's a lot of faith in one little set screw). I made new torque rods out of threaded music wire that way there is less chance of coming apart. They seem pretty rigid but not as rigid as the black ones.

Its a 25 size bird and the torque rod length is only about 3".

Thanks for your help
