Three days ago, I sent my plane on a 10km mission to the local town and back. It didn't come back. After hours of searching along it's flight path, we found it in the woods. For 2 days we tried everything to get it down. Today, we went with ladders ( again ) and a windsurfer mast and fishing rods, but the plane had jumped out of the tree by itself. I'm hoping the electronics will dry out ok. Thanks to John for seeing the plane in the tree.
Having analysed the video and the GPS log, the plane's battery died. 15 mins flying time seems a bit low, as I have had 57 mins on one flight before now. Now the battery won't charge one of the cells. Time to get a new battery...
