It's good to know that others have felt as foolish as I, when several years ago I parked my brother's Electrasoar in the top of a very large tree. This airplane had a pretty flat glide as long as the speed was maintained.
Needless to say, I was making a long approach and thought myself well past the tree---WRONG! To complicate matters the tree stood directly over a pen in which stood a rather nervous Hereford bull. Every time the radio glitched and the electric motor burped the bull got even more nervous. The bull's owner was not thrilled and I couldn't really blame her. After a number of attempts with a large and quite heavy steel nut tied to a length of line we finally managed to loop it over a branch. The plane eventually dropped out of the tree and amazingly did not sustain heavy damage. It's a helpless feeling trying to rescue someone else's plane from a tree while a ton of nervous beef is watching. Dan RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
