RE: I build a transmitter to find lost planes in corn fields.

At the bottom of the Overview page click on the red text for Receivers, Transmitters, etc. They are not cheap.

Other devices can be found by doing a Google search for "model aircraft locators".

Tiny Type

What's up with shrinking the type used in posted messages? It used to be very easy to read and now it is all scrunched down. Is this some kind of economy measure?
