Today, my remote control airplane arrived in the mail. I was super excited, so naturally I took it outside for its first flight. It now resides at the top of the tallest tree in sight. FML

Train a falcon and have it go get it.

To buy the falcon use the money you saved by switching to State Farm.

It's okay, I've done that too, only mine decided to end up in the neighbor's pool.

I think I'll leave it somewhere for Longbottom to collect - how about - up a tree?

My dad's a nut about these, too. He's got a lot of them and has a lot of control. But even he doesn't take his new models out until he's completely familiarized himself with the remote, and can make them hover steadily. I have a feeling you didn't take such precaution. Live and learn...

Remote control planes don't hover...

You've confused planes with helicopters. Still not smart of the OP to take it out first thing, though.

Actually rc planes can hover. Go on YouTube and type in rc plane 3d flying or rc plane hovering.

It's not TECHNICALLY called hovering, it's generally referred to as hanging on the prop. Unless you're talking about pointing it straight into a strong headwind and chopping the throttle.

Yes your correct. But it's also commonly called hovering even though it may not be correct, And sorry for the double post

An enormous colony of trained army ants would be far superior!

If the only place you can legally fly a remote control plane has trees all over, that's a pretty good indication you should get a new freaking hobby.

At least yours didn't disappear so high that you couldn't see it.

What good is seeing it at the top of a really tall tree? OP still can't use it in any way.

At least in a tree it doesn't get smashed to bits because it was too high to be in range, lost control, and plunged down. Plus OP's probably didn't cost several hundred dollars. That's all I'm saying.

Not sure if this any helpful but my friend had a remote control plane which he got stuck in a tree. He got another one, tied it to some string, (so if that one got stuck he could pull it out) and then kept flying 1 plane into the other and he got it out.

I fly RC planes as a hobby, surely you must know that they're designed to be magneticly attracted to trees?

My club field is in the middle of a large horse racetrack, so we've got no trees. I did fly somewhere with trees once, and yep, it got stuck
