John I will do what you recommend and have 1 of the pairs in a vertical orientation.
Jan you make a good point... I like the look of them next to each other and will have to come to terms with their separation

Futaba sells longer antennas that would allow you to keep your receivers where they are and just run the longer antenna leads. Futaba part number -HSP79766 ANT 400MM. You can also purchase a cable that can be used for 2.4 antenna from Digikey http://www.digikey.com/product-detai...554-ND/1657749 they would need to be cut to the length you need and the shielding cut back on the tip. These antennas are coax cables on most Futaba receivers and just plug into the receiver.
