Zxyong,quite right the length of the antenna is shorter at higher operating frequencies.
However, you cannot simply used any length. This has to be calculated base on the quarter wavelength theory and matching impedance. The details is beyond the scope of discussion.
The length of the antenna for both the transmitter and the receiver are pre-determined by the engineers so do not change the length unless you know what you are doing.
Similar I have seen some receiver antenna arrange in a zigzag manner when installed onboard the aircraft or some had the anntenna loop back. This is a very bad practice and actually reduce the range of the receiver.
Sometimes this is unavoidable especially for chopper and very small plane where there is limit area to safely streched out the receivers antenna.
Where situation permit, the antenna should be stretched as straight as possible when installed in an aircraft.
For the 2.4Ghz receiver that comes with two or more very short antenna , the antennae should be arranged in orthogonal (90 degree to each other) for optimun range and performance.
