Title: bell lost off of outrunner
Post by: Ededge2002 on September 04, 2013, 09:14:37 PM
Tonight just as it was getting dark I was flying my 3d plane with lights on it at the north end of the field. The motor poped off and fired the bell somewhere. I was only 3"(1m) off the ground so it shouldn't have gone too far just couldn't find it in the dark!  I'm going to go look tomorrow but if anyone finds it prior to that just stick it on the frequency peg board.  Thanks!

I arrived early at the field and happened to catch a non member at the field.  He had his wings but no form of MAAC or a TEMAC membership was produced.  He flocked off when I approached him. 

After doing a full half field sweep of the area I lost the motor in with 4' spacing going north south I had not turned up the missing motor bell.  I was going to give up but chose to do a sweep in the east west direction at the same spacing.  I found the motor about 15-20' from where the plane landed.  Sitting gleaming in the sunlight. 

Thanks for those that tried to help me locate it in the darkness.

From HERON in we'll have to approach these interlopers and sell them on the benefits of MAAC and TEMAC membership. :P
