Tech 808 bent his groundplane kit and
could give you the details.
You may also want to create a common mode choke
at the feedpoint of the Imax 2000.
The channels you use would be best covered by
an antenna such as a Imax 2000.

I just looked it up it's a 30 degree angle. The full post is down further under Imax 2000.
