I'm sure in theory it makes a difference, but after a year of flying with the Stratux, I've found no difference in reception, regardless of antenna orientation.
I've had the unit fall off the window mount and onto the floor in a jumble and had perfect reception for hours that way.
I've left it in my flight bag.
I've deployed it on the dash and horizontally in the passenger window.
I've never experienced a drop-out.
YMMV
Thanks, so far I have NOT noticed a big difference by bending them to the UP position but if that is the right way, then I may as well deploy them as designed...
Thanks YMMV...
