Bugger. I maidened a new toy plane and in the heat of the moment trying
to get it trimmed it landed neatly at the top of a mature poplar tree.

Its about twice as high up as the house..I've tried archery, but can't
get the carry with a line attached.

No chance to climb it. Its poplar.Branches fall off of their own accord,
let alone climbing. The only ones that don't are the ones with planes
stuck in them


The battery will be toast in 23 hours.

Any good ideas as to what will reach that high? Just need to hook a
branch and tip it out really..don't care about the damage..its a
prototype for a new kit and the beta model is already ordered.

Last time it took 6 weeks to shoot the airframe to bits with an air
rifle..

Know any fishing blokes?
A roach pole? i'm sure these are very long

Fishing poles taper too thinly at the top. Longer, thicker poles are
available, at a price: http://tinyurl.com/37xx9h

But 16m of any kind of pole will very hard to 'steer' from ground level,
and quite dangerous if you lose control of it.

Of course, you do have the option to ignore and forget about...
Plane? Tree? What tree?
