i had a buddy land one perfectly in the top of a tree, he did such a good job. we used a 28 foot ext. ladder, climbed an additional 20 feet or so, then used two gopher poles (extension poles for pulling wire, we are phone guys) which gave us an extra 40 feet or so, and we could barely reach the plane. we did get it down, but we had to tear it up pretty bad in the process. oh, the two poles were taped together with duct tape. but i promise you, that was the greatest, smoothest landing into the top of tree that i have ever seen, i swear he meant to do it. oh, he was able to repair it, and get out with it again. it was a tower hobbies mk2 40. i would rate the landing a 10 out of 10, the top of the tree barely moved. GOOD LUCK
