Simple answers. 1. because these flying objects often have an incredible bounce/rebound factor when they land.
2. because you unwittingly kicked it there with your big clod-hoppers. (assuming they are big, but regardless ... you get the idea.)

Wouldn't it be nice if we could convert into cash the time we spend looking for something that went flying or got up and walked away from where we put it down?

This sounds like one of my typical work sessions, I think I spend more
time crawling around the floor looking for bits and pieces that have
gone flying off than I do actually working on the model! Maybe someday
I will learn! I keep meaning to make one of those jewelers aprons that
is attached to the workbench.

But why is it that I always find the piece in completely the opposite
place than where I saw it go flying off too?

 A careful on-my-knees search produced
nothing.  Does anyone know the size of the screw that holds the body
to the frame?  Is an American size, 00-90, etc., or is it a metric
size?  Also, what size are the coupler screws, not that I need one yet?
