Title: Lost in the corn
Post by garyb on Aug 25^th, 2022 at 4:11pm

my Sig Kougar (50" wingspan) went down into the corn this morning. From the pilot's station it would be off to the left in a line between the big grey barn roof and the church spire and way in.
Did a lot of tramping through the corn and mud but to no avail.
Perhaps someone will have a drone at the fun fly Sat. and can guide me on to it. Trid to attach a pic but no luck , the plane is mostly white.

I'm planning on bringing my drone for this exact purpose on Sunday for the Fun Fly. I've found a few planes since I got the drone last year. Will just need you to point the direction once I'm setup Sunday, I'll fly a grid pattern based on corn rows.

So Kevin found the Kougar. He actually found two planes in the corn today. What a guy!

Found in the corn....good that I was recording as the drone passed over this section. Can you see the plane? I didn't while flying but upon reviewing the recording later noticed this.
