chickenboo, plan on buying more planes. They seem to be a little addictictive.

Here is a new airplane recovery story, we haven't had ant recently. I was trying to to fly the double stir stick with a tail in the wind conditions in my yard. I decided the the wind was to swirly for flight. Instead of just ditching the plane immediately, I figured that since I had a tail streamer on it I could fly it back. Then the wind caught the plane. Remember, this a stir stick plane. I fought it close to the house and it caught the wind stopped by the house. The plane the took a hard turn and climb off the turbulence. Shortly thereafter it landed on the wrong side of a fence, in hibernating nettles. I pulled out my trusty tree trimming rig, catch it softly in the jaws and bring it home. The plane is obviosly to far for that, had I thought about it I would have known that fate would make this more challenging. I used my trimming tool to clear an area that was large enough to recover the plane. Once I everything clear, I went for the big reach. The tree trimmer is 13' long, the airplane is 14' away. I went to get the 6' ladder, it was in use on christmas stuff. A chair later, I recovered the plane. Tim
