Default 2.4 antenna question

What is the correct angle that the antenna should be at when using 2.4? I have a Futaba 7C and I always thought that the antenna should be up at the same angle as the control sticks, pointing out parallel with the face of the of the tx. When I crashed my decathlon the other day, I had a guy tell me it should be flat and pointing out to the right hand side of the tx. I've never had a problem, and I don't think it contributed to my crash, but how do you guys use yours? Instructions say not to point it at the aircraft, which would be pointing it straight out like a normal extendable antenna. Prolly should ask bax too.
