I didn't think the guy would be able to get to my plane, but he took one look at the tree and said "no problem". He climed as high as he could then used a long pole to slip a noose around the nose of the fuse then lowered it down to me.

Dry fit , with measuring sticks, to make sure things are square. Never glue and paste, trusting your eyes!

Oh yah, you all know what this pictures means. Obviusly pilot error was involved, but in my defense there was an issue with the wind blowing my off track then I couldn't seem to get power or lift enough to avoid the oak tree.

Flights on the new batteries were 20-23 minutes with 900-1000 mAh drawn from the battery. Recharges took 20 minutes with 90% of the recharge done in the first 13 minutes. This was about as high as I care to go for now.
