There is this solution. I wouldn't count on it though.

Funny thing one of the clubs I frequent in Wisconsin had a rather wealthy by a share to learn to fly very expensive Quads He so happened to have access to a chopper and recovered on of our club members GS planes out of a tree in the middle of a woods.

A chin saw would have solved the problem and feature problems ... The squrials and birds might get P1ssed tough ... LOL Now looking at pic 4 of4 a few loads of double ua buch about 3 feet below the quad would definitely brought it down at leas to a lower branch.

A friend of mine ounce used a weather balloon with a thin cord and some treble fish hooks snagged his plane after a number of tries but he managed to get it down with just minor damage.
