Thumbs up Find your lost airplane/heli with these

I just read a thread about a fellow who took his new MQX outside to fly, and a gust of wind carried it into a field of tall grass, never to be seen again. If only there were a cool little homing device that you could stick on your plane or heli; even better if you could find it with your smartphone!

There is! (or there will be in a little while)

I found these new StickNFind bluetooth locating buttons on one of those project funding sites, and I was so intrigued that I signed up to get 4 of them when they come out in a month or two. One is going on my car keys!

That is very cool! Range is fairly small (100 ft max), so not sure how useful for lost aircraft, but still a well-done product!

Hide them on your kids, grab their nerf guns and play Aliens with them! That motion tracker was such a great suspense builder.
