Default Homing Beacons

I was flying a Zigi copy ( all white poly, flew better than normal one! ) but i didnt stick the lid down propperly and all the gear fell out on a high speed bunt, i watched it go down, ( the glider would be esay to find ) this hill was all thick heather but i knew which area, we searched for the RX, batt, and mixer for a hour and a half. all the others gave up, and i carried on, 15 mins later i fell over, and as i looked down the whole lot was wrapped around my foot.

My mate crashed last week and lost his batt on the same hill.

P.S my batt has come out on every plane crash that did dammage, but we fly from a field with short grass, not a cornfield that slows the plane down some first and has plowed softer soil.

Lots of our crashes at www.rcflyers.fsnet.co.uk
