Dave's little glider flew off this morning -- he was flying it in too much wind and couldn't get it back to the field before it got too small to see. We spent 2+ hours beating the bushes searching for it. I finally found it by scanning the far cliffs with binoculars from atop a hill: I spotted a white thing with black marks that I thought might be the wing, and we hiked up to it and it was!
"She's tore up plenty, but she'll fly true" (well, after some gluing).
