What's all that green stuff on the side? It kinda 'leaves' me with a sick feeling.

I don't see this as a tree eating a plane. I think this is a plane reverting to its natrual state by casting off the monocote and engine.

Sorry about your loss. Here in N.C. our flying sites all seem to have those "Jumping Trees " . They sure are hard to get around even if you know where they are ![sm=bananahead.gif]

In Texas, we have jumping fences, I feel for you.
btw, when flying through the sun, just hold the controls steady, follow through to where the plane should be, blink back the tears and keep on flying.

I read tip about flying through the suns glare. Close one eye as you get near the sun, then after passing it open the eye again, at least you can see the plane with sun spots superimposed from the eye you watched with. Try it, it works.
