Looks like the GWS 'be found' can't be used with a berg receiver, as the PCM failsafe continues to send a signal to the servos (which is what you ordinarily want).

I'm looking for a way to find planes 'lost' in the woods. Rather, it goes down in an area of trees, and you've got a 50 by 100 yard area to search. How to find it.

If the motor is running, I can hear that. How about electronics that 'beep', granted, LOUD beep, if the throttle is low or off? Are there any known packages that do that? Or any DIY packages?

I wiggle the servos and listen hard..

Should NOT be hard to couple a beeper up to a spare channel.

As I said, this in a rural area, I need a loud sound. (running water, wind, makes 'servo' noises imperceptable.
