so after getting one of my quads stuck about 40-45 feet in a tree. I figured ok, time to put my 650 in action. so I rigged up my retractable landing to drop a rope. the idea was to try to drop the rope on the branch and try to shake it out. but that didn't work 


so what ended up happening is having to climb half way up, and having some buddies hand me a 16 foot pole so I can poke at it.


so after a day of it hanging in a tree, I managed to get it out without killing myself, and only a puffed out battery. 
it's kind of dark, but if you look close you can see me still in tree.

Well...it was a good try anyway.  You should be getting pretty good at climbing those trees by now!

Maybe I should start a service? people can call me and I'll come retrieve their quad. (for a fee of coarse). lol

Great effort though.

it would've been awesome if it worked. but my friends said watching me climb that tree was pretty awesome to.

Still think this should have been a step in your ZMR build thread haha. And I think you still have time to submit the crash video in the king kong props contest

Can I book you for some tree surgery

I'm getting pretty good at it.

You couldn't throw something over the branch? At my flying place we just tie a rock to a rope and throw it over the shake the tree like mad

I tried that, but after a while my arm got sore. it was pretty high up there.
