<human>: Can you condense the text into three sentences or less?

I decided to buy one just after Christmas when it was on sale, since they'd always looked like fun. I had been practising it the last few days and had gotten reasonably OK with it - I could generally get it flying around without hitting everything, but wind was still a problem for me. 

I noticed this morning that it had been subject to a recall, as of yet, I hadn't had any major issues and the recall hadn't (still hasn't) been formally filed - so I couldn't see the details of the recall. I worked out it was something to do with the controls and link - but so far mine had been going fine. 

I planned to, tomorrow (since it's still New Years Day) double-checking the recall status and then returning it if the people weren't lying. Even though so far I'd been fine, I figure it's better safe than sorry. I decided to give it a final quick go before returning it, just in case I didn't get a chance to fly it again for a while.

It's flying alright, winds are a bit more than usual - but so far I was going fine. All of a sudden, there was a massive gust that pushed it over some trees, followed by my remote abruptly losing all connection. I looked up to see my marvellous $320 (RRP $399) quadcopter falling into the tree line. 

3 hours later, 3 friends helping later, and we still have no fucking idea where the ever living hell this thing fell too. We can only assume it's hidden in the tree somewhere up ridiculously high (well, only 20m max, but we can't see top down).
<bot>: I wanted to have one last fly before returning it due to a recall (which was for an issue I didn't think I was being affected by). The wind blew it over trees, the issue struck, it fell, I cried.
