Ah yes, right near the top. As one RC pilot of 38+ years told me - next time crash lower in the tree.

While I hate seeing this as the end result, I do love the photos of the planes flying in the air. It's where they are supposed to be. Good luck.

Steve, airplanes and trees are nice to see, just not together. there should be at least 10 feet of separation. Ouch!!

Oh dear! How big is the sky that you were flying in? How small is that tree in comparison? :) How was the flight before the 'twiggy encounter'? Sounds like you got some good stick time in this time around...

Good point James, I did a darn good job in hitting this small target. Pre-tree I got in about three 20 minute flights and the Tyro handled very nicely. There was a gentle NNW breeze so I got good experience flying upwind, downwind, and crosswind. I would say I got in more flying time this morning than all previous flights combined. Now I just wish the tree climbing guy would call me back and let me know if/when he can return her to me. I almost forgot - the icing on the cake. I got home and got on the bike, only to find the speedometer was not working. Fortunately my butt is well calibrated and knows how fast I am going ±5 MPH.
