Trees? What trees? That was our reply when the three ended up missing at the end of our leased field. Just disapeared, stump and all. Man, the cutworms must have been bad that night.
Anyway, the 16' tree trimming poles that were mentioned do come in handy by trimming a path for the plane to fall. PVC is also a great idea, with a couple of guys, you can make a pretty long pole. Just BEWARE OF POWER LINES!.

If it were up to me, I'd chainsaw that entire row of trees. However I think the farmer who leases us the land would probably object. I may however try the PVC pipe idea. I hate to admit it, but I was up half the night thinking about my plane up in that tree, and of course that's the first thing I thought of when I woke up this morning. It really got me going when i was laying in bed and I heard the rain starting.......i hate feeling powerless!
