Hoverfly HFP resistance to High Voltage EMI?

[JZSlenker]

I just did a scout for a shoot that I have coming up on Friday. Much of where I will be flying is near several high voltage power transmission lines. My question is: Has anyone flown HFP near high tension lines? I'm not going to be crazy near them, but they are in the area. I just remember as a kid holding a fluorescent tube up in the air at night, under the towers in our neighborhood and watching it glow. Curious if I may have an issue.

Haven't done that yet, but I have had yaw issues flying next to a large iron bridge.
The issue is if you have the GPS board installed, the compass is active in AL mode. Just be ready to switch to manual mode if you have an issue. If you don't have the GPS board then it's less of a worry, but take it slow.

Thanks for the info. Well I do have the GPS board, but we rarely shoot in AL. Manual mode is what we fly 90% of the time.
