I jumped in on a crowdsourcing product I stumbled across last year after searching high and low for a low cost tracking device for stuff I tend to misplace or my wife or kids misplace..
It's called The TrackR and the newest one is the Bravo. It's very small and light and I think it would be perfect for attaching to a copter.
They have two previous models that have been out for a while - I have one on my car keys. It's linked to my phone and if you lose track of one or the other you can use the phone to find the TrackR or the TrackR to find the phone.
Lose them both and you're kinda screwed I guess.
I'm hoping it really takes off in popularity since it's Bluetooth based and works by enlisting other users of the app as beacons so to say...so the more peeps running it the better the network.
Sure, it's not perfect, but it's definitely affordable and should get only better over time. Check out this video:
These guys are down to earth and I've had a few conversations with them about features they should consider for future models, etc.
