In the UK Maplin stock a range of telescopic antennae, priced between £2.50 and £4 depending on size. You should be able to find their website easily enough.

Its OK i have sorted it now..... retrofitted an Acoms one... well sort of [][:$]

Just curios but did it break easily? Just ordered a Futaba 2PL that my nephew will be using for the most part (his almost 5years old) and I know he is already guilty of breaking the antenna of another transmitter. So should I stock up on spare antennas?

Should you get some spare aerials in case a 5 year old breaks them?

YES! It's not a matter of if he breaks one, it's a case of when:-)

Very young kids find it utterly impossible to not point the antenna down, given that they are already close to the ground, breakage is almost certain.

See my post above about getting em cheap from Maplin.

You are right and he has two younger brothers as well so I just ordered four extra antennas from Tower Hobbies. $6.99 +shipping for one so I ordered four for a total of $39.90. Hopefully that will last through out the summer.

All that actually happened was the last section came out of the base of it - but if i pulled it up it popped out!!! so bit useless really, and it got bent!!!
