Default Finding the airplane once it crashes

Hi everyone,

I was flying an aiplane in the park. The airplane went uncontrolled into some very tall grass (what I would describe as elephant grass), anyway hunted for about 3 hours to no avail and numerous cuts on the legs. I just couldn't find the plane and yes it's killing because I saw where it went in... I guess what I'm asking is that I understand that there is some sort of beeper system that you can buy and attach to the plane just for these circumstances. I don't fly the plane normally near the grass area but the plane nature went there once it died. The planes that I fly in the park are the the parkzone RTF foamies and I pretty sure that you don't want to through the cg out or add too much weight to the plane, so I figure that the "beeper" should be light weight.

I just thought that if there is something out there that would beep so I could at least here the thing if it went it again. It gets alittle expensive at a 150.00 dollars a plane. I thought about some like those key chain finders that will beep once you hit the button or something that would beep constantly.

I appreciate your thoughts.
