Story:
On the day before 1.1.2005 I did a flight to test all components. Everything was okay. By the next turn I was out of the distance and my aircraft had an uncontrolled soft "landing" in the top of the highest tree in this area. The problem for me was: The tree has an altitude of about 10 meters, but I had to climb up! It was very difficult to reach the top. When I was there, I joggled the tree with all my power. After several minutes the plane fell down 5 meters to the next big bough. Now I did the same procedure: I joggled again. The plane fell now 3 meters. The plane now hung about 2,5 meters above the ground, but still in the tree. Being back on the ground, I had to strike the plane from the bough till it came down. I was very exhausted. The plane was destroyed, but the photos in the plane-camera were saved. Now I had no more possibility to take an aerial view on 1.1.2005.
The photo is a hand-made look about my little town (Mittenwald) in the Bavarian Alps from 1.1.2005.
