I am super pissed right now, so bear with any negative energy emitted by this post. Firstly, I'm a disabled vet with anxiety and depression issues. I bought a drone thinking it would be a cool hobby. I've rarely flown it because my anxiety told me something bad would happen. I left my comfort zone and took it for a flight today. Sure enough, son of a bitch, I managed to crash it into my idiot neighbors tree. I live in the country, my next door neighbor has several tall pine trees right on her side of the property line. Now it's stuck in the tree about 40 feet up. Do I have any options other than burning/cutting the tree down (which I'm seriously considering). Would a tree service company be any help. If I can't retrieve it, I'm done with this hobby - I'll concentrate on my gun and knife collections.
 
Hi...sometimes happens and, I will say, at least one time happens to everybody! Me too crashed an expensive drone colliding a tree...then I've reconsidered my flight capacities and learn to fly far enough from trees.
The recovery....depends, what drone are we talking about? Because I imagine that a company with a platform can have an huge cost compared to the drone value.
