    Lost glider

    Just spent the week re-doing my 10 yr old Gentle Lady to electric powered. pretty pleased with the job. worked thru the night for the final touches and went to FHB for a set of folding prop. came back, installed, went out to fly. 1st pack was half depleted, gave 20 mins then i retired it. 2nd pack was full and i landed at the 20 min point and checked the temps. everything is ok. relaunch and flew for another 5+ min then i realise it's not responding well. it's a speck in the distance as i was "surfing" the wind up and down. watched it go down in the distant. spent 2 hours looking for it then decide to give up. haizzz

        PM me the location and let me try my luck. If found, pay me 10 bucks.

        Sorry to hear that, hope some miracle happen .....

          Maybe we need to gather a group and go for a S & R (Search and Rescue) mission.

                Need my help, I am on for the S & R. As I face the same problem during my nitro day lost control and crash into the wood...... It take me 1 week of S & R to loacte the plane. Even the plane is gone for good but at least all the RC equipment is still in onc piece. So ammo if you really need to go for it , give me a call and I will get my No. 4 ready

                    use a slow stick and take some aerial shots of the area.

                    my friend and i did that before.
                    it should work.
                    all the best man!

                        err, my friend and i?
                        but the cam is his tho.

                        but its not really a good cam.
                        you can get it at simlim for 59 bucks.
                        use a paperclip and bend a wire around the cam attached to a servo and make sure that the cam is triggered when the servo moves.

                        and thats all you need, a cam and a paperclip!
