Default Antenna troubles.

I'm sure I am not the first to have this problem, and I'm positive there is a common fix that I am just not privy too. How do you keep your antenna tube from getting shorter and shorter? Every couple times I roll my MLST my antenna tube snaps at the base. After fishing out the nub left in the antenna hole I have to re-thread the antenna wire. There has to be a better way of rigging the antenna. I was thinking of maybe getting a 3 or 4 inch spring that would fit snuggly around the first few inches of the tube. Maybe that would give the tube some extra strength?

You can get them colored ones at you local hobby shop. But I still suggest you try to roll over less.

I use the nitro fuel tube to connect the base and the antenna tube. It doesn't break any antenna tube even after roll overs.
Or you can do what Sinny Gun did:
