Default RE: EUREKA, I found it ! ! ! !

Japanman, I know just what you mean. One time a good flying buddy lost his Dynamoe rubber model during the day's flying. It was quite windy and he wandered far and wide looking for it. As it happened we were all staying camped out at a nearby farm so after dinner when it was cooler about 12 of us went out to look. On the way there I commented to my traveling bud that I was only along so that someone else could find it. I'm usually cannon fodder for issues like this. Well we stop and get out of the truck and the first guy explains the line. I'm sighting downrange and see something about 80 yards into the first field. I lift my binos and look to see what I'm pretty sure was a Dynamoe tail sticking up out of the grass. Meanwhile the flyer is still explaining how far away he thinks it is. I walk out to the model and start back with everyone agog. The ice in our drinks back at the farm was still cold when we got back.

I should have run out and bought that Lotto ticket right then and there....
