tracking

Long story short I just got my Level 1 over the weekend and flew it low and slow. But now I might like to reach for the stars as it were lol. I'm terrified of losing my rocket though and am contemplating investing in some sort of tracking system. I know these "egg timers" are suggested but yes...
