The FS-THX9 that comes with the IRIS is using the antenna on the back from the telemetry module, it does not have an "own" antenna. That's why I could plug the small piece of wood in where the "real" antenna would normally be. Btw, I was inspired by this post, take a look at the first picture:
I just printed out this mount and attached to the stock radio. Works great since it has clearance for the TX antenna and can be angled for better viewing
I built a transmitter tray which holds a monitor, my tablet, vid receiver & recorder, LiPo battery & a 5V BEC - the radio & bluetooth to my tablet are zip-tied to the tray.
I made this solely with items I had in the shop, and it is version 1... I will probably make another one out of aluminum sheet after a few tests for usability and practicality.

Where is the transmitter antenna?

Wow, just what I was looking for.
Now to find someone with a 3D printer.....
If there are any CAD or 3D design guys out there who want to send me a STL file for 3D printing, I'll print one, test and send you one.

Do you have any pics? What did you make the tray out of?
I'll post some a little later today
A couple more photos:
