It can either be found in radio instruction manual or may be listed under the receiver model on website.

All radio TX & RX manufactures, Futaba, airtronics, novak, The length of antenna is fixed. Not to alter it by cutting it off. Cutting it off would alter the SWR( standing wave ratio). I tie up the rest that is in excess in a 1inch coil, or shrink wrap onto the arial tube.
