Default Deans 2-piece whip antenna, wire length?

Hi Guys,

So, I've got a 2-piece Deans whip and I'm planning to use it on a Futaba 9CAP-Super.

The Deans instructions clearly state that the antennae should be cut between 4 and 10" from the receiver. My question is, is there an optimum length that will maximise the quality of reception?

Thanks,
Kelly
