Quad stuck in tree

jogdish · 2016-12-27 12:10:39

Hi, So basically, lost control and now my quad is stuck in a tree, 40/50 ft high. Cannot throw a stick that high, no luck with a rope and hook for 3hrs, unable to climb the tree(very straight round, nothing to grab at reasonable height). Any ideas? Was a syma x5sw. Im guessing once rain comes it is lost.

Any ladder I own, would not get me near a branch I can grab, or let alone feel safe doing so.

Send another quad up to unstick it. What could go wrong.

Maybe get a rope round one of the branches and try shaking it?

It may be safer for you and everyone else if it stays up there.
