Well, this is going to be a bit embarrassing. I'm currently in high school, and do not have much time to go flying, so one morning before school I decided to head to a park a few blocks away to go flying. A few days before this incident my dad had gotten me new propellers, and I was looking forward to seeing the new speed that my planes could reach. So anyways, I went over to the park with my dad, and it was awesome. The plane I used (a homemade plane that I am still very proud of) flew faster than it ever had before. So there I am, having fun flying with my dad, when he tells me it is time to go home. I go to land the plane, flying to the end of the park before turning around to land, when disaster strikes. I misjudged the turn, and instead of turning cleanly around and getting ready to land, the plane gets stuck in a tree. Now, there aren't many trees in this park, and the place I got it stuck was the very top of the highest tree in the park. I tried to have it fly itself out, but it did not work. I came back after school with a friend of mine, and we tried to get it out using a rope to shake the branches. Unfortunately, this didn't work and I quickly realized there was no way to get it down. So yeah, that's the story of how I lost $60 worth of plane parts to a tree one morning.
Sorry for the long read, and any ideas about how to get it down would be appreciated.
