Corona rp8d1 antenna wire placement on quadcopter help

This obnoxiously long antenna straw? So it goes up right? The full antenna length? Cause that's pretty damn long.

Yup. I'm currently using a Du-Bro 30" pushrod housing mounted with an RC10 antenna mount.

I realize this is an older thread, but I want to add this link for others who may find it in their search for 72mHZ antenna information. Basically, anything other than a straight, full-length antenna will affect range. The base-loaded whips are similar to straw-coiled in actual performance. Real-world FPV multirotor experience with 72mHZ is all that really matters though - all you need is enough range for the way you fly.
