I really like the idea about the soft air pellet as a scale tennis ball. Wes |

I use teflon coated shift/break cable from the bike store, same trick with the airsoft pellet and some heat shrink and and small aluminium tube. have never broken one and they are very flexible.

I had one of the rpp antennas snap as well. It snapped where the bolt that the antenna is wrapped around connected to the ball stud.
