Andy Pickford Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 Having spent a good hour looking for my mates plane in a rape seed field i think it might be a good idea to fit one of those bleepy modle finder thingys. Does anyone out there have one or know of any good ones about?? Cheers Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamish Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 Andy For exactly the same reasons I nearly lost two models and decided to take precautions. Bought from http://www.njttechnical.co.uk/ I was impressed by their service as they communicated. I am hard of hearing and could hear it at about 15 metres +. You still have to take all he correct action when it goes down to mark the spot with your aerial etc and then go searching. The rape surrounding our field has now lost the yellow. I am told that it now binds together on the top and is virtually impenetrable. You have to crawl under it and pop up and down to get your bearings. Hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Grigg Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 Does that mean the model will stay on top Hamish.We fly over a rape seed field which is hiding a number of models at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamish Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 Would not like to guarantee that Stephen. One of our experienced members told me that if you can glide on to it and it may stay on the top. My ventures into the rape so far have been two head down at full tilt and one when I did manage to glide and did not go deep. Have managed a few flights now without any failures and hope it will continue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mowerman Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 Try the following Micron do one either in kit form or built up runs of radio battery on loss of signal or on spare RX channel. Or more expensive but self powered, 'Locator' advertised in June RCM&E. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
