I've used carbon fiber rods on two of my planes for the throttle.
As long as you don't have any CF to metal contact you should be cool.
I epoxied a bit of 4/40 rod onto the end of the CF rod, and then used a rocket city ball link to attach it to the throttle arm.. since the end is plastic it works out fine.
