Wing struck in tree (not mine tree or wing). Near Knockholt.
Anyone got a telescopic pole for next Saturday?
Approx 8 metres up in thick oak tree

I do have some long poles you can have. Plastic pipe about 4m long and some aluminium poles that fit together and are about 4m long so tape them together and maybe it would work
Hi Brendan
How is access from above? would a Mantiss Claw suspended from a Mavic be able to reach it?
Cheers
Steve

That’s the way. The bodge way. The power of bodge is strong!
Proper in middle of tree
Good old horse chestnut
Thick fucker.
Discounted chainsaw as its too big.
My weight rope is now stuck in tree. Had to cut the rope.
I don’t climb but the tree is around one metre diameter at base and no branches until about 3 metres.
Trees are bastards.

Can I and @nicesub have a rescue badge please ?
Ladders and poles and 3d-printed grabber …
All the electronics working, only battery and one servo and lots of UHU Pour needed.
Twas hanging by @nicesub excellent soldering. A lovely dog walker walk past whilst we we struggling with a shorter ladder and offer the loan of her ladders (from next to the park). Was a method of up ladder, use long pvc and bamboo poles and TPU grabber to lift the wing off the snag. Actually it then got struck further down the tree. (Trees are bastards!) but at last on the on ground.
