That time you totally are gonna nail that powerloop of a tree, only to find that yeah... You did not.

Lol! I wondered how people got those, but never bothered to search. Yea, wound up knocking it down with a few rocks. Thought of just burning it to the ground, but, you know... Arson and all.

Basketball is usually good for this.

Because of this reason, I disable my small_angle now. So I can arm and spin motors in case I accidentally disarm.

Everyone should have one of these

Lol, that was my next step. Was logging my new setup after turning off filters, and thought I'd get a little frisky. Went super well... Lol. Darn filters. Found out that one motor was getting hot and swapped it out and BOOM! No more noisy logs!!

+1 for that! Tried, but like the rest of the t-wrex, it was simply too short.. lol

   
My lady got me this shirt for xmas.. love it!..

We've all been there.  There was a video going around for a while about an air cannon that shot bean bags specifically made for getting quads out of trees if memory serves.  As much time as I spend in trees I should probably have one.  I have gone to the extent of cutting the tree down (I was going to remove it anyway) to get one of mine back.

Damnit man, lol. My buddies was in a tree for damn near a month. Rain, sun, a bit of snow. Battery still plugged in. Got it down and the damn thing worked perfect. Battery was shot, but all else was 100%. Might be getting DYS for my next build... Lol

In Canada, you need a permit to chop down a tree. Even if it's on your own property!!

Sounds lame, but I like where they are going with that

Same here in the States depending on where you live. I have to get a permit, although free, to cut down a tree (not trim) on the sidewalk even though it is my property.

well this one was going to come down anyway and quite likely on my house.  As far as I know, I do not need a permit to remove a tree on my property.  If I do, I've been breaking the law for years!  Oh well.

Hahaha! LOL

Do they come in 20 meter versions too?

I once was even going to use my heavy-lifter drone to get my fixed-wing out of a pine tree at some 20 meters high. But in between the trial run and the planned actual rescue attempt, a tree surgeon had already retrieved it for me...
