It was on the ground, with the wings resting up against the corn. It was 1 row from the row I was in and I almost walked by it. Our farmer only wants one person in the field. Got special OK to have more go in. If it would have been only me, It would still be out there.

Here's another slant on the subject for those of us that are destined to experience the same thing. 1.) Establish some sort of reference point for where you last saw the model. Then use a straight line to that point as a beginning. 2.) Understand the old adage that the model is always further away than you thought. 3.) When landing in corn, expect the model to slither down nose first . It's almost as if they don't want to be found. and 4.) Carry your transmitter with you and when you get to where you think the model might be, move the sticks some to make some servo sounds. It's amazing how well that sound will carry.
'Glad you got your model back.

Glad you found it, Its tough! I lost mine in my back yard once by the time I found it I also found my 55 chevy and 20 foot ladder that was leaning against the garage, Oh and the garage! Now I am cutting my grass on a more regular basis, once a year! Wow never had to look in corn before or even trees, Nothing grows in Wyoming except my grass and weeds, Darn grass and weeds!

I don't know if this has any application, but it is a good story anyway. I was flying a red and yellow 1/2A free flight over a gentle slope which was solid with Indian blanket (red and yellow) flowers. I watched the airplane dethermalize and land on the slope. I went to get it, but couldn't fine it. It got dark and I had to leave. I came back the next morning and immediately saw my airplane. Cattle had come to look at it and had tramped the flowers down all around it, with no harm to the airplane.

My brother's a glider pilot.
He landed his Cirrus out in a corn field when it was about waist height.
From the length of his landing run, we reckoned he'd decelerated at nearly 30G and it took off the tail.

That is a good and funny story! Thanks for sharring it!
