Lost mine.
My Dad brought me one back from his trip to Australia. I tried it out on a beach, it flew out to sea, and that was that. Never saw it again.

Maybe it swam back to Australia.
I have lost a few in the past. I make cross stick ones sometimes. Maybe yours was a non-returning tourist one. Or maybe a hunting one. Not all are supposed to return. It needs airfoils & L shaped to return properly. Maybe you knew that anyway.
If you're interested here's how to make a returning traditional by Vic.
