HOW ABOUT SUCCESSFULY FINDING YOUR PLANE?

I was recently reminded of the frustration a new pilot feels when he has put his plane in the woods and can't find it. He has been looking for several weeks. I have spend some hours out there with him with no luck.

For as little as $5 you can put a locator in your plane that will help you find it if you put it down in the trees, brush, tall grass, corn field, .... wherever you can't find it.

There are more capable and more expensive options as well.

This article is written for glider pilots but it applies to power planes just as well.
