Hi there
I wouldn't use wire at all.If you can get it use very fine fishing line in breaking strains of less than 1lb.Secured with a dab of Ca glue it works a treat.

I also use fly tying thread which works great. It is very strong, very thin, and doesn't fray.
It works great for 1/72nd and 1/48th scale aircraft.
