no experience... dont do it

hire a pro to get it on the ground...
that tree might turn you into a ham and egg sandwich...........
if you can handle a saw .....
do the clean up yourself....
you dont have the experience....
dont even attempt this....
dont try and flop it yourself....
you could be killed instantly....
dont climb it yourself .....
you might fall and bust open your noodle...
dont do some flips out of the tree....you'll splat like a tomato.....

kinda like a song huh? am i repeating myself?:confused:
 
Not sure straps are the answer, i think those are more for a situation with splitting potential. I think some of the posts were more concerned with the vertical loads on the remaining wood as you cut out the felling notch. The thin ring of remaining wood will be under high compressive forces and may fail before you finish the back cut.
With that much hollow, the hinge, of there is any, is not going to behave in the normal manner either.
I am facing a similar situation and am thinking brute force from a safe distance, ie pull with a really big rope until something gives. Or explosives :). Something other than me with a chainsaw standing next to a hollow time bomb.
