im guessing thats just for alignment because it's a linear directional antenna (maple wireless 2.4ghz linear) if you rotate it it will lose like 3db of reception. i had it on the exact radio radio advertised in their site (jumper t lite) but later bought a more powerful radio so i dont really use it.
generally for fpv drones you're gonna have video reception problems (5.8ghz circular-polarized transmission, the big round antenna) long before you have reception problems of the 2.4ghz control/telemetry signal (that you use to fly the drone and get back basic info like gps coordinates,battery voltage,orientation....). your control signal is like 50-500 kbps and your video signal is like 25-50 MBPS so one is far more suseprible to interruption than the other.

im pretty sure all starlink traffic is encrypted by default, even if you write a script to send a plaintext message to a given ip when it goes into the starlink radio it will be encrypted. and even if its not its fairly trivial to encrypt it.
