Many years ago, I managed to recover my Mavic Air drone from a 10m high pine tree. 10m is not 40 m. But the trick could be used another way. My way was by swinging a bottle of water (my gourds) at the end of a rope above the branch holding the drone. After the sixth trial, the bottle passed over the branch and stopped there. I only had to shake the branch with the rope in order to have the drone fall on a carpet of mosses on the ground. For 40m, the idea could be used by trowing the bottle or any other object with the help of a crossbow. If you can get at the branch on which the drone is hanging, just shake it down. Put some camping carpet or large blanket at the base of the tree to receive safely the drone. Good luck! Gilles from Chicoutimi, Quebec.
