I've glued a piece of acrylic tubing to a hole in the bulkhead for one airframe; the antenna wire slips up inside that nicely and the chute packs around it without too much trouble. It's survived probably a dozen flights with the BP charge going off right next to the tubing. Useful if you need to pull that bulkhead off the ebay. I've also gone 'naked' without the tubing and I've found the wire tangled up after flight most of the time; not sure what I'm doing wrong, but clearly it's not working for me like it does for others. -keith
