This is a lost model locator with some big advantages over all the others. It is, hands down, the most sophisticated and easy to use lost model locator and low battery warning device.

NOTE: This is the only Lost Model Locator of its type and size available that will work with most PCM systems! It is also the only low battery warning combination unit that works with either 4 or 5 cell packs.

If you’ve ever spent hours looking for a lost model then I don’t even have to explain why this is a smart investment but if you are new to RC flying then let me tell you a personal experience.

I had just finished building a slope trainer for my son. I put a lot of work into the finish so that it looked flashy. The first time out his new airplane went out of control and landed below the lip of the slope but we did not see where it went in.

My son and I and three of our friends spent the better part of two hours the first day looking for his airplane. He and I spent another four hours + on our own trying to locate his model. We never did. We were both aggravated about the loss. Total cost? About $300. We got away easy. It could have been much more costly.

The sad thing is I have lost model locators in every one of my models. I ran out of locators when I finished his airplane and rather than pulling one from one of my planes, I got lazy and took a chance.

When you consider the cost of the radio gear, the cost of the model and all the time and materials that go into a typical airplane you can see that it’s just smart to add a lost model locator. Think of it as an insurance policy.

Listen to the alerts here. NOTE: they are pretty loud!

Here’s what makes the SkyKing RC Products locator different:

1. It can be used with either four or five cell packs. The unit automatically senses how many batteries are being used and sends a confirming signal to let you know it has properly self-adjusted to the correct voltage being used. No jumpers are required. It’s all handled by “smart circuit” technology.
   
   
2. The SkyKing Lost Model Locator + produces two distinctly different tone signals. One signal is for the lost model function and the other signal is for low battery warning. If your battery pack falls below 1.15 volts per cell, the low battery warning will begin to sound. You’ll know it’s time to land and charge your pack.
   
   
3. Unlike most of the other alarms on the market, you won’t be asked to count a bunch of beeps to try to figure out what your alarm is telling you. The low battery-warning signal is loud and distinct.
   
   
4. The ring pattern for the lost model alarm is not just a bunch of beeps that sounds like Morse code and can easily be inaudible amongst the sounds of the outdoors. Birds, insects, wind and other noises can and will easily mask the tone produced by other similar devices. The sound produced by this alarm is loud, annoying and raising and falling. You won’t mistake this sound for a bird or insect and it can’t be easily masked by wind or other normally occurring outdoor sounds. The lost model alarm sound will get your attention!
   
   
5. Upon initial start up, (TX on - then RX on) the alarm will sound either four or five beeps depending upon how many cells are in your receiver pack. After this initial start up phase the alarm will remain silent unless you either have a discharged battery pack or your transmitter is not turned on. If you lose your model, just turn off your transmitter to start the lost model alarm sounding and walk towards the sound to find your model.
   
   
6. The lost model function has priority over the low voltage detection. Let’s suppose that your model is lost in a difficult area. The transmitter is then turned off to activate the lost model tone sequence. Time passes during attempts to retrieve the model and the battery voltage eventually reaches the low detection point. The lost model tone sequence will continue to sound until the transmitter is turned back on or the battery pack is run flat.

SkyKing RC Products Lost Model Locator Shipping $4.00 IMPORTANT: Our Lost Model Locator works with the Futaba 6 channel Spread Spectrum transmitter. We have not had an opportunity to test our locator with any other Futaba system, yet. Our Locators DO NOT WORK with the JR/Spektrum system due to their built in “Fail Safe” feature which cannot be turned off. Our Locators will work with all Berg receivers if the Fail Safe is not programmed to operate. We hope to test with all of the currently available spread spectrum systems soon but as of now we have not. Our locator will also provide lost model function with LiPoly powered models using a BEC circuit. The low battery warning feature should not be relied on if you are using more than 3 Lipoly cells since the low voltage cut off point is not the same for all brands of speed controls.	$20.00
