My roommate and I are involved with building a rather unique model rocket.
We have a concern that once launched, we may never find it again due to
unexpected winds, etc etc. The question is: Can someone provide a simple
schematic (doesn't have to be that simple) for a homing device. I envision
a small transmitter in the nosecone or somewhere and a hand-held device that
will indicate the rocket is to the left or to the right of the direction the
device is aimed. Is such a device worth the effort? What kind of range
could we expect. Could someone e-mail or USmail a schematic? We have
searched all the libraries and book stores and are getting kind of desparate.
Thanks, Brentley
