Bendy Antenna Thingy?

The antenna does not transmit from the tip - but all around the lengt of the antenna.
Take a look at the donut - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:L-over2-rad-pat-per.jpg
On 2.4 radios it is only the outmost "inch" of the antenna that is active.
This is why you can bend the antenna to point the "broad side" towards the plane.

By pointing the antenna towards the plane, you get the lowest range. It has to be perpendicular for maximum range.
They have longer range, so long-range fpv guys still use those, they don't interfere with 2.4 GHz video systems, they have more powerful transmitters and lower frequency so better range.
Bad side is that if you have another transmitter on the same frequency turned on, it will knock the plane down instantly. And also the long antennas are quite annoying.
I like my old transmitter - JRXP652 if you want to Google it.
I have 1000 mW of transmitting power, compared to Spektrum's 200 mW system. Only downside for me is that my transmitter knocks out broadcast channel 4 on nearby TV's

I want 1 that knocks out tv channels.
Feel free to do it outside of the USA - in America, a SWAT team will be knocking on your door - with a ram.
Yes, TV is taken VERY Seriously here.

Though broadcast TV is almost dead as well - since the introduction of Cable service.
