Found it believe it or not. Used the app flight screen showing flight map and telemetry. Approximated last position on map where flight terminated, added it as a way point on my phone gps app. This was over marsh and dense woods and out 2500ft. We found an old logging road that came out almost where I approximated flight terminus. Four old guys wandered woods for hour to no avail.Canopy overhead dense with tree branches. Went back to the atv's and found broken prop fragment not ten feet from where we parked. Found some more fragments, and there it was 40 yards up in tree. Never got it down. Used 5 full choked 12 gauge turkey loads, and 18 9mm pistol shots and branch never gave. So she sits still in the air. To add to the mix, it rained cats and dogs last night after a month of no precipitation, and the ac is hangs upside down by its landing gear. Tomorrow the wind hits 40mp. Wed, we return with deer rifles and hope to get better results if 40mph wind doesnt work. Temp goes from 50f to 23f on Wed. Weeee!
