Radiation pattern for both 72 and 2.4 transmitters. The “z” axis represents the antenna with nulls on both ends.

The objective is to orient your antenna to keep your jet in the “fat” part of the radiation pattern and away from the “hole” or null off the end. To achieve this, always have your antenna perpendicular to the anticipated flight path. For a 2.4 transmitter this can best be accomplished with the antenna positioned to near perpendicular (bent) and pointing at your head. One null is directly behind you and the other points into the ground immediately in front of you, two areas where hopefully you won’t be flying! If you naturally hold your transmitter pointing downward, the same effect can be achieved by positioning the antenna straight out and pointing at the ground.
