I don't know what to do!!!! I was flying my mini storm launcher and its was flying excellent today. So there was little wind and it flew. I got it off course in my neighborhood and I was a angle where it crashed in my neighbor's house in the front. I looked there and couldn't find it. I looked everywhere and even in the bushes. I got the plane at walmart. Maybe I could return it there without the plane? lol I mean they don't check the inside of the box. It costed 20 dollars. I checked on the roof too. What should I do?

Do your neighbors have a dog? Are your neighbors fond of you? ;) Maybe you should put a tracking device on your planes so you always know where they are at. :D

go ask your neighbor to help you look sometimes fresh eyes help.

Sorry to hear about your loss. Now, buy a plane that takes video. Then launch that plane and do an expanding square search for it. That's what we'd do in the Navy. :) Oh, and tell your neighbor to keep an eye out for it.
If I keep reading stories like this, I MAY finally get around to putting a little sticker with my name and cell number on each of my planes. It could happen.
GOOD LUCK!

OK now to be serious. That is what i always do, i run the motors to help me find my planes especially my rolling fury on the snow. You cannot see it worth a darn, white on white.

Run the motors as you walk around, maybe you will hear it?

That's how I found my Starscream when it flew over an apartment complex...
Of course, this was in my earlier days of piloting that plane :)

I feel your plane (pain). I have lost one original AA that way, mine flew into a trailer park, never to be seen again. Running the motors is a good idea, BTW.

I tried that and asked the people there to look for it but no luck!

Well when the dog collapses and you see your neighbors carrying a big plastic bag, you will know where your plane went. Lipos are killers. But hopefully the dog did not eat it.

Hopefully, the dog bit it on the sponson, VERY CAREFULLY, and brings it back to you, puts it down and wags its tail, that would be very nice :D

Hope you find the plane young man. ;)
Does anyone put address labels or "reward if found call: 555- 1212" on their models?
I got one of those at Walmart today, but for $30.00 not $20.00! :censored:
