If you are serious about the plane finder:
These are the least expensive type

This is the system I use:

Then there's the very expensive Walston

You can use a simple HT radio with a yagi if you don't want to pay the high
price for the receiver.

My question is, how well does it float?

Floats well in light air, strong winds and even... water! Needs a little
more rudder authority in the water though...:) I guess it wanted to see
what all the fuss was about a DUCK...
BTW, who can recommend a good lost plane finder? I know there are a few on
the market..any testimonials?

Since I let the Genie out of the bottle, I wonder what three wishes I'll
be granted? My wishes?...
For all a Happy Holiday season...
That new world beater, sailplane toy under the tree for all of my soaring
pals....
....and good health, wealth and happiness for the new year...(all I need
is a vacation!)
