Default RE: FINDING LOST PLANES - Plane Locators

Yes Ed,
I saw those pins just now on my Sky King LML.

Flew a video mission this morning while the wind was still calm. I have a Sony Webbie cam mounted on an Ascent 450BL. Since the camera is shooting through the propeller you see lots of wavy lines, until you shut down the motor. Climbed fairly high, over wooded area where I think Pulsar is, then shut down motor to swoop back and forth over the tree tops.

Lots of great video now in HiDef, but no sign of the Pulsar. I have burned the fly-by video to DVD, will watch/pause it again tonight, and may fly another mission later today, if wind drops off.

Unfortunately, we had wind and rain last night, so Pulsar (what's left of it) could be lower in tree canopy. Did another "walk in the woods", too no luck. My name is on the Pulsar, so maybe a hunter will call in the Fall.
