    Attatch a bit of string to it usually does the trick.

    Or attatch a dog bone to it, and send in next doors labradour

    Where are you going to be flying?

      some of the align speed controlers have a lost model alarm type thing. also you can buy lost model alarms that sound when certain conditions are met

      Don't argue with idiot's on forums; people watching may not be able to tell the difference.

          why not fly it where your not at risk of losing your pride and joy in the local jungle?
          Nik.

          Before you ask:

          About 2 miles
          Over £500
          Very difficult
          Over 80mph
          NO, you can't have a go



          Don't forget the 'Search' and 'Thanks' buttons.

              I read the "alarm" bit in the 450pro manual....



              My solo field has some real long grass in the summer so maybe i'll test it out and report back in a few months...

              I lost my 450s ablut 20 foot up a tree once, I couldn't see it but a friend spotted it and we threw a door handle on a rope to get it back.... LoL
