Copter in a tree rescue

[cosmorogers]

Hello all
Some footage from where my hex flew into a tree. This was at the South East/ Kent meet a few weeks ago, so it starts with a couple of other copters flying around like crazy little bees 

Copter in a tree

Thanks again to those who helped get it down!

Been there before I went to a local garden center and bought one of these and cable tied a hook to the end of it

Also bought the tree lopper for it as I needed a longer lopper  ::)

Ah, I remember the day well.  I hope you got it all back together in one piece now and no harm done.   

Looking forward to the next meet and hoping for a slightly less windy day

Wow! de-ja-vue! Spookily like my tree incident. My weapon of choice for retrieval was a 1kg mallet on 30'; of rope. At least your recovery was a hell of a lot quicker than my 4 1/2 hours. ;D

I remember well the feeling of ';...oh frill! what do I do next?...'; 

Hope there was not too much damage.....

Think we would have needed 3 of them tied together to reach it, it was pretty high up!

Yep all back in one piece now Hands0n, just some sheared vibration mounting bolts and a snapped GPS mast. Couple of quid for the bolts and a couple of quid for a new mast :)


There wasn';t any damage when it actually hit the tree, only when it hit the ground :)
