[QUOTE="delovelady, post: 21098, member: 873"] Two things. First, I have that same tracker device, with a pair of "tags," one for each of my drones. Love it. No issues at all! But I hang mine from the leg via twisties so zero chance of affecting the props. In response to the above: getting close isn't good enough if there are woods, tall grass, corn fields, et cetera nearby. In the US, the government currently claims 4 meter accuracy is the best we can achieve in ideal circumstances. That 16 square meter area can be huge when looking for something that small under those circumstances. Also, the controller can only report the last _known_ position. If it went straight down from there, maybe you're in luck. But for me, the clincher is trees. I lost my $500 Spark in a tree where I saw it crash, not 50 feet away from me. But I could not see it in the tree, even though I knew exactly where it should have been. No 'tree guy' will go up there for a reasonable fee without knowing where the target is (believe me, I tried). A really, really expensive lesson. [/QUOTE]
