I am a one of those tree climbers. I don't charge though and I don't go to clubs yet. My friend got his Firebird Commander stuck in a tree about 50-60 feet up and I climbed up about 40 feet and used a fishing rod to get it down. I like climbing so I enjoyed the view of my neighborhood. I did get some scracthes and cuts though. I do know a way to get it down that could work for me. I own a slingshot and am fairly good with it. I am also a fishing nut ([link=http://www.billdanceoutdoors.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=forum;f=6]another forum I go to[/link]) So I have plenty of mono line lying around. You could shoot a wait attached to mono over the branch. If you are really desperate, buy a BB and try and shoot a part of your plane that can be replaced.
