I always keep a pack of Handi Bags in my flight box to take to the crash site. They are like walmart bags that come folded in a little pouch. Last year a friend crashed his Seagull Extra in a cornfield and I grabbed a couple and helped him look for it. When we finally found the plane 30 minutes or so later I pulled one of the bags out of my pocket and offered it to him. He thought I was giving him a handkerchief to cry on and said "No thanks, I don't need that, I am just glad I found it". After I opened the bag and told him that it was a bag to put the pieces in we both laughed our butts off.

Another tip, when someone tell me that my plane is flying good I always say, "I never brag on it while it is still in the air"! That is a sure way to jinks a plane!.....Tony
