Base Antenna Question

[RT431]

I'm looking to purchase a new base antenna. The Imax took a dump. I was researching the Sirio Tornado. Anyone have one and how do you like it? Any issue in high winds?

I've seen pics of them breaking below the coil. Is this a problem or manufacture defect?

Any all comments welcome.

Not a defect, design flaw. Weak point.
All the bending force is carried by that plastic rod.
