Slowstick in the trees

I decided to put some ailerons on my slowstick tonight to give it more control. They didn't work like I thought and I ended up in a tree on the street in front of the house, about 16 feet off the ground. I had to get the limb cutter on an extension pole and with the help of a passerby, I got it down.

The problem was the linkage had too much flexibility and the ailerons didn't move evenly under the stress of actual flight. I will need stiffer wire to prevent this.
