I was flying the third round in the Punta Gorda contest today, when I got a little low over the trees on the north side of the field, coming back to the landing area. Thought I was on the other side of this one tree, but ended up right in the top of it about fifty feet up. Gordy came over while I went back to the van to get the fishing rod retriever since I am no longer young enough to climb trees. When I got back Gordy was about 3/4 of the way up to the plane. He made it to the top and was able to get my Pike untangled from the branches and to throw it clear. Only damage was a wrinkled wing tip when it hit the ground, and I was able to finish flying out the day with it. Otherwise I would have had to hire a professional tree service to get it down for me. So thank you Gordy , I appreciated it very much.
