Lost Aircraft Alarm

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.
