I clipped a tall pine tree about 60 feet up landing once with a sudden wind change. At my house lots of trees so straight up and down through a 30 foot shaft. Anyway it did a cartwheel, righted itself, and proceeded to land normally. Then I exhaled. Video was normal-normal-WTF-normal

Thanks for reply. I did a lot of research but you never know who is getting paid for a good review. I gotva good deal but it is still a good bit of cash. I will be flying at the big ballfield complex here in Summerville to gain experience while being cautious.
