Well.. I may have pictures at some point, but at the very least I have come to share my misfortune as so many others have done...

Yesterday morning I went to fly my Hangar 9 Arrow to get some light aerobatic time in before I maiden my newly finished SIG 4* 60. I had figured a few more good flights on the ole Arrow and I would get the SIG in the air. Well, that time just got a lot closer.

At the bottom of my third tank of gas I decided it was time to call it a successful morning of flying and come in for a landing. I had moved to the far end of the field I was in near a tree line to avoid some people doing sprints at the other end. No big deal as I had a huge area still. Well as I brought the plane around at and started my base leg to final I noticed it vanished behind the tall pine tree line and "Crash". I nice loud sound from the pine tree that I flew right into as I turned to final..

This would not be so bad aside from the obvious headache of getting the plane down but the tree is across a ditch and in the back yard of a double wide trailer. In fact, the tree line seperates a trailer park from the school I was flying at. To boot, there are power lines hidden in the tree as well. Oh, and its a good 50 ft up there.

So, there is a nice plane up in a pine tree at the moment until I figure how to get it down, or just call it a loss. Its an inexpensive setup compaired to my 4*. With the power lines in the tree I am not climbing or poking much up there.. I may just be flying the 4* this weekend and hope to have better luck... I swear the plane at a perfect angle to land if it ever come free! Too bad because I wanted to put floats on that thing...

DOAH!
