An oak is one thing... but a pine tree? You got them needles stickin' ya in the face and drawin' blood, you got that bark floatin' down and gettin' in your eyes, you got a zillion branches - so many you don't even have room to go up, you have sticky sap gettin' all in your fingers, and the branches are too skinny and weak to hold your weight, and if that's not enough, the whole tree is swaying back and forth in the wind... it's a rough climb...

I climbed one once and I can’t believe how well you described that.

Nice video. Is that how you located it, you heard it? Thank goodness you picked the right tree to climb.

Yeah.. 6 minutes of battery left... I heard it buzzing in the tree... couldn't see it at all

I climbed a TV tower in HS that was 950 feet... higher than the Washington Monument which every good American knows is 888 feet. But I bet my climb was easier than yours.

The tree I could handle. A tower even at 100 ft, nah. I used to be a fireman in my younger days, and climbed ladders all day long if needed. Just can’t, even to save a drone. Sorry honey, the antenna wanted it. I’ll call the insurance company. But, then again, she got used to it when I was crashing my RC planes faster than the glue dried. Well, not that fast, but you get the idea!

Post crash update:

So.. only REAL physical damage is a crack in each of landing legs.

All the props are good with no sign of damage... the prop guards are wasted, so... they did their job.

I had to recalibrate the gimbal.. it was pointing off to the left slightly.

Test flight went well.. check all movements in the air at a height of about 10ft... just to make sure... then took it up 200 ft and did the same only fast... all seems good... THANK GOD!!!

btw... RTH is now set at 85m ( ~280ft )
