Another tree landing...
 

....this time about 40' up. Got it down with parachute cord and a big sinker. Glad I saved all the
fishing stuff. But, the airplane is a bit worse for wear.

I may have to buy a few parts and learn how these buggers are held together. It's looking like the
pieces that came off are held onto the fuselages with pins and silicone sealant. I suppose it makes
sense. Otherwise there'd be a lot more pieces.

Maybe I should stick to guns, motorcycles, photography, etc, like Harry does.

Maybe it was designed to fall apart rather than break.

That's what I was recently told. The silicone sealant is strong enough for flight, but separates
when being tugged on by parachute cord.
