A long long time ago in a far way land, I too landed a Super Sportser in the very tippy top of a 100 ft tall pine. As I was on approach and very slow, no apparent damage was caused. But the plane was stuck firmly in that evil pine's grip. We did try a shotgun. That managed to make the plane jump a little, but nothing more. As I had to work the next morning, and I intended to have another try the next night. But when I got home form work, I found that a good friend had wrangled a tree surgeon to climb the mammoth tree and retrieve my plane. As the man descended with the plane he shouted down the awful news that the plane had been vandalized with a shotgun. My friend, to embarrassed to admit that it was us that had shot the plane, just shook his head and acted as though he were disgusted, " man, who would do such a thing? "

I did have to recover the plane. Amazingly the only component to take a hit was the battery pack.

There are folks that can scurry up even the biggest trees and faster than you can imagine. I recommend there services highly.
