Invest in a tracker next time. It will pay for itself.

I lost a fixed-wing RC aircraft in tall weeds on a steep hillside and spent hours looking for it. Got all muddy, sweaty, and wet looking for it. Just before giving up, I found it about 2-ft into the tall weeds at the bottom of the hill near a roadway.

Since then, I’ve been putting reflective tape on all sides of all of my fixed-wing and multi-rotor aircraft. A few days after starting that practice, I lost a small quadcopter on a steeply sloped, wooded hillside with dense, thorny undergrowth. After walking the slope for an hour or so with no luck finding it, it got dark, so I went home and returned with a spot light and found the small drone in about 10-seconds of sweeping the hillside and trees.

I don’t fly without reflective tape.
 
Why the deceptive subject title? Some of us read digests only and open only what we believe will be of interest to us (yours is not one of those). Titles have a purpose.

Wonder how Glow Paint would work on it. Should be able to spot a flyaway at night from a quarter mile.

What were you thinking?? When I read your title I became so enraged I kicked the cat clear over the sofa and got so upset I am only now able to respond to your post. Now that you have fully repented, I feel better...lol
