Default 12x antenna

HI all, any one know the link to Horizon site that shows the proper way the antenna goes, straight or kinked, for the 12x.
Thanks Rcpete
PS, I think it is straight.

This picture is off the Horizon Site. It shows a guy holding the transmitter with the antenna pointed out, just like as if he was taking a Leak while looking a bit constipated.
I sure don't hold my transmitter like that, or at least I hope I don't.</p>

.........why recommend a position with that ‘cone’ pointing where you fly?
I've flown with the TX antenna in about all orientations that you can get the 12x into and checked the flight log comparing frame loss/fades/holds and no one position was any better or worse then any other one. truth is it really doesn't matter which way you orientate it at the ranges we fly at.

Paul do you have a link to the JR recommendation?
