Here's how to make a lost aircraft alarm out of a cheap door alarm and a brushed ESC.
You'll need:
- a cheap 100 db door alarm from the dollar store. It runs on 4.5V (3 X 1.5V button cells)
- a brushed ESC to trigger on/off the alarm. I'm using an old GWS ICS50 2A ESC.
- foam board to make a sound box for the piezoelectric plate
It weighs about 16g.
See the wiring diagram below.

I used to have an online store ... years and years ago !
A lost airplane alarm is not as loud as mine (I've tried those).
Mine is around 100-110 db, that's loud, really loud !!!
