Nothing wrong with the tree modeling. Please observe this old picture where I quietly sits in a tree, studying bighorns highly sophisticated gopher hunting skills...

Folks, I am just a crappy pilot, so I try to learn at every opportunity...
After studying the picture I still can't figure out is - is Bighorn pulling a split-S or is that an outside loop?

The trees are in fact overmodeled.  If you look closely you will see that they are Acer Aviorerdae, otherwise known as the common kite-eating tree of "Peanuts" Fame.  Only now they eat planes.

Of course, the squirrel ack doesn't help either.

Today, while cruising at treetop level in my A20 looking to start a fight, I sneezed.

While a sneeze seems innocent enough, it caused me to nose down into the trees, and clip my tail. Here is the strange part - I had NO damage, and after I regained control, I flew away!
