Default RE: FINDING LOST PLANES - Plane Locators

I was on the slope on a very gusty day. My Zagi 3C wing ended up on top of a 50 foot tree about 200 yards away.

Unfortunatly this tree was one of many in a small forest. The leaves were so thick I could not see the plane, but I could hear it. Even with the beeper it took me some time to find it because it was on top of the leaves. Finally I caught sight of the red monokote.

Without the plane locator, that plane would still be there.
