Default Fuel line clamp

Have a align T. rex 600n. I am running the standard tank to a hayes 1 oz header. I am trying to figure a good way to cap or pinch the vent line coming from the header tank. I may be overthinking things but it seems like having a 1 inch long piece of tubing with a clip on the end would swing around and possibly damage things during flight. Any suggestions greatly appreciated .

Here's the ones I use at the end of the line. I really like these:

I found some on ebay. When I find out where that was, I will reply. The dots are nicer looking, but are apt to be dropped in the grass if you're anything like me...

Regular old plugs is what I use. Eg, the metal hobbico ones for example.

For clamping fuel input/vent lines, some planker friends showed me these awesome clamps made by K&S (also listed as KSJ)

I really like those tubing clamps, too. They work the best of the kinds I've tried.
