Today, my remote control airplane arrived in the mail. I was super excited, so naturally I took it outside for its first flight. It now resides at the top of the tallest tree in sight. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I flew a toy airplane into my face. FML
Today, I was tossing my car keys into the air and catching them. I threw them up really high, only to have them land in the branches of the palm tree outside my door, at the very top. FML
Today, my Christmas tree was finally shipped. FML
Today, my new drone got stuck on the neighbour's roof. I'd bought the drone to look at my roof because I don’t like going up on ladders. FML
Today, I woke up and found that the tree in my front yard was gone. FML
Today, the bird that has been stuck in my roof for two days, keeping me awake at night, finally flew out of the roof and into the house. As I was opening the door to send it outside, it flew straight back up into the roof. FML
Today, after being terrified for years, I went on a plane for the first time. It was also the first time I "emergency landed." FML
Today, I managed to fell a tree perfectly. It landed exactly where it should. Today is also the day I managed to Whack-a-Mole in real life. FML
Today, my father went out to get batteries for the remote control helicopter I bought him for Christmas. In his excitement, he backed his truck into my car. FML
Today, my friend invited me to play frisbee golf with him. On my first throw, my frisbee got stuck on a branch near the top of a very tall tree. This is why I don't do sports. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Train a falcon and have it go get it.

To buy the falcon use the money you saved by switching to State Farm.

If you have nothing better to contribute than "idiot", why bother commenting? There's a "YDI" button for a reason.

Buy a R/C heavy lift helicopter and rescue your plane. If that also gets stuck, buy a bunch of planes and fly them into the top of the tree until it can no longer support the mass of your whole squadron. When the tree collapses, return all of the aircraft except your first plane to the store for a full refund. How did such a simple plan elude you?

People these days ignoring the common sense solution to fixing a problem, way to go Perdix, good to know people still have brains. Also i think maybe buy yourself a real helicopter and fly by the tree and pick it out of the tree would work wonders, than you could fly your plane and drive a helicopter!

Too bad you can't REMOTELY fly it back out. Way to go Orville!

Buy another plane. Use it to get the first plane down.

Those things are a huge waste of money! They always crash, break or get lost on the very first flight. It's just not worth the money or aggravation!

In pilot school, they used to tell us how to fly a plane. Goes like this.. Push the stick away from you to make the plane go down. Pull the stick towards you to make the plane fly up. That is, until you decide to make the plane go down again, pull it in further. Here's wishing OP many future successful takeoffs, if he gets back his plane.

That's the same as "Push stick forward, houses get bigger. Pull stick backward, houses get smaller. Pull back too much, houses get bigger again" hahaha.

This joke is not funny anymore. How do you not see a tree unless you're blind.

It doesn't say that a tall-ass tree ambushed OP's plane out of nowhere. My guess is, OP flew it a bit too high, and it got caught by the wind.

clearly you haven't seen a TV ever. This happens all the time. You should have know your first flight would end in tree
