Second flight. Strong wind, see windsock.
Went way downwind, lost orientation, lost control, lost the model.
My camera person/ copilot/ spotter wife always yells instructions to me when I'm flying farther than I  can see. Too late this time.
Two hours of wading through 3 foot high wheat proved fruitless.
Waited 7 hours for wind to die down enough for aerial search.

Seven hours after I lost the Ugly Stick, the wind slowed enough for an aerial search.
Courtesy my friend the pilot.
He and his wife even gave us lunch as we sat around waiting  all day long...
No luck though.

need to do the aerial search at noon time, becase the shadows would mask the plane in the evening so they would not be able to locate it ,   your loss  reminds me of a time when i Lost a 6 channel helicopter downwind, it simply would not come back against the wind, and in a few seconds it went out of my visible range , thats why I nowadays try to always fly against the wind , never downwind
