You can get the wires to stay twisted by just putting a light coat of ordinary PVC cement on them after twisting and letting it dry while holding the twist...Takes just a few minutes.

I've tried this and I still can't keep the wires twisted together. I've taken to loosely braiding them. They don't untwist when pulling them through small openings in foam wings. For as many planes as I put together any one year it doesn't take any longer. Can't say as it's helped my landings any, but I don't have any electrical interference/noise problems.
