Introduction: Make a Lost Plane Finder

By None
About: Hello, I am 17 year old innovator living in India. My interest lies in Electronics. Surf through my creations and enjoy!!!!1

Presented here is a lost RC Plane Finder or plain crash indication system. This helps to find you a crashed or downed RC Plane.The LED Lights up when there are no signals caught up associated with Radio Controlled Transmitter.

Step 1: Components

1. NE 555 IC

2. BC 547 Transistor
