If you're using a standard telescoping transmitter antenna, it will radiate the most energy from the side. The way to increase signal to your model is to hold the radio up and away from any nearby objects, and point the antenna at a right angle to the direction toward your model, in a position that is as close as possible to being parallel to the receiver's antenna wire. If you normally point the tip of your antenna at your model, which seems to be the most popular and natural position for most of us, then you should have available the emergency reserve that you're looking for. If you're using a shorter "rubber ducky" type antenna, it will behave differently.
