I feel your pain man. I got a plane stuck high up in a tree this past summer at one of our local parks in the city. It sucked! I spent four of five days trying to get it out; PVC pipes- way to flexy; steel pipes- try lifing a 50ft steel pipe over your head for any length of time! I actually got three baseballs and a football stuck in the tree trying to get the damn plane down. Finally I gave up and started calling tree services. Luckily one of my wifes friends (ex-boyfriend [:@]) is a tree trimmer and was more then willing to climb the tree and get it out. It was up about 65 feet or so. Took him all of about 10 minutes with a rope and harness. I bet you could get a tree trimmer guy to do it for $50.
