There used to be a gps device for models, fly away and crash, it would text you its gps location, about £90 3 years ago, obviously it didn't catch on as I haven't seen any adverts for some time!

Its the loc8tor that I use its on 2.4Ghz has saved me losing my mini many many times now. £50 fish quid and comes with 2 tags/fob things well worth it I won't fly without it now. If you can get within bout 150 metres it will find it.
