RE: FINDING LOST PLANES - Plane Locators

GPS coordinates would be nice. Do you get a real time GPS position during flight, or only after you had landed?

here is one more idea I saw, maybe you could adapt it to find a lost plane? Put...

RE: Best ARF glider?

I like the E-Flite Ascent 450BL ARF. About $239, but after you epoxy on tail, you just add your receiver and a LiPo and you are ready to fly. It is very elegant in the air, with the built up wing,...

RE: Sony webbie anyone?

2thDr,
You are right, the Webbie Cam does not have image stabilization. All the same, the video I shot, with my Ascent looks great. Still trying to upload the video clip to Vimeo.
