About 3 weeks ago, my buddy is coming in for a landing with his Cub, it's dusk, so perception is getting difficult. I have a massive field behind me with just fairly thin treelines. I look away a minute and hear "AW MFer!!!" I turned around and the plane is nowhere in sight. "You DIDN'T!"

Yeah, treed it. On one of the neighbor's property. So we made our way back to the tree, good 200 yards out. We get up to the bunch of trees, and it's hard to even tell which tree the plane is in. And it's about 20 minutes until sunset.

"We can't leave the lipo in the tree, there's nothing to climb.....WTF!"

So the owner rolls up on his quad and scopes out the situation, was very cool about it. In fact he offered to cut the tree down! We mulled it over a minute, and all decided it was the only way. He comes back with a logger's chainsaw, I said "you sure you're alright with this?"

He was, and had to cut another smaller tree down to make way for the taller one! I still wasn't convinced he was cutting the right tree and it was getting dark fast. So he made a notch cut and dropped a 60+ foot tree with a SuperCub on top like he'd done it every day of his life.. and the plane floated off where it was stuck and hit the ground totally undamaged!

How do you guys like to meet your neighbors?
