Plane Locator
Do you fly your Aerobird, Firebird, or other 27 MHZ plane near woods, swamps,
high grass or corn fields. If your plane goes down in one of those areas it
can be VERY hard to find. This can help.
On the Aerobird I use one of these on the plane and one stays in my pocket.
The effective range is 50-150 feet depending on conditions. It is called a
keyringer

If I put the plane down in very tall grass, or in the woods ( don't ask ) it
can be hard to find. If I am looking for the plane, I click the one in my
hand and the one on the plane answers. I mount it under the rubber band that
holds on the wing. Doesn't seem to hurt the lift.

Here is a review of another Emergency Locator Beacon that illustrates its
value. Your keyringer will serve the same purpose.

Another great plane locator for the Aerobird is the combat module. When you hit the fire button it lets out a loud noise that you can hear for a long distance. I will help you find the plane.
