Default plane in tree

About some time ago , I landed my plane in a tree. Well I didn't land it there on purpose but I mis-judged how close I was to the top of the darn tree. Anyway while trying to get it down which I did successfully saving $100 dollars, a gentleman came up to me and asked ' how did the plane get up there ? ' [X(] ......... I wanted to say I climbed up the tree and put it there but I couldn't be mean since he offered to help me get it down . So I explained the logistics of RC flying.

Would have been a perfect time to pull a Bill Engvall and say "Here's your sign..."

I agree, but I didn't get any signs before landing in the tree.

But however, [:-] today I ignored the signs and ended up crashing causing little damage .I was flying and the plane starting flying as if it was shot down . I walked over to the crash site and set the plane up walked 200 yards away with the TX antenna fully extended ,putting it exactly where I was standing when the interference occurred. I walked back to the plane and noticed allot of interference leaving me to believe the POLKS Hobby seeker 8 RX is bad. I will send it back some time this week.

The sign was me having to fix a bad wire connection on an aileron servo.
