Glad to hear it's repairable.

Nice save. My experience with trees is that most of the damage occurs during the retrieval process. The worst is when the tree has to be cut down. It almost never ends well.

Boy you're right about that. I got the rope up over the wing and tied it to one of the gear legs. My son and neighbors had the other end while I coaxed the tree to let go of my damned plane!!! Then they gently lower her to the ground. I though for sure I'd need a new plane after this, but got REALLY lucky

Haha....that's an old rock fence row below it!

Glad to hear it's repairable.

Thanks....me too.

Always keep the blue between the plane and the green. These words were told to someone who hit a pine tree branch. The branch was full of green pine cones. You were very lucky!

Very lucky, another few inches and not so lucky.

 

[Pistolera]

Yep....very lucky indeed! It was hanging by the prop and one wing. No damage to the prop either.....!

I was taught to stay in the middle of the air and stay away from the edges

That is a sweet looking plane. I always loved that scheme. Glad it turned out ok.
