Thanks for that, it looks just what I need, as well as the right price and weight.

The best solution I've found is a simple boost mobile phone.  If you search ebay for "GPS tracker boost mobile" you'll find the phones I'm talking about.

Ebay sellers figured out the cheapest GPS tracker is a prepaid boost mobile Motorola phone, so they're selling them as GPS trackers.  The phones are pretty small and the cost is cheap.  Service is also cheap.  AFAIK you'll have to use the internet to track the phone, but I'm sure you can figure out something with text messages if you need.

Hi Dwgsparky and Jake,

 

No i don't sell it.... :D

But, did you see, how small it is?

Also cheep... 

The bad part is that i haven't tried it yet.

But as it is on the way it will happen soon. I can give you more information after i have experience with it, if you want me? (Hopefully no crash experience :))

At first i wanted to use my old mobile phone. (Nokia E66) 

It works as it should, but too big, and heavy for my Easystar2

But still, if you send an sms to it it sends back its exact location (GPS coordinates, nearest address, and a link also to google maps). No extra service needed, just a software for the phone.

So if your plane is big enough... :)
