@SteveM calm down dear, it’s only a commercial.

I’m guessing you missed the emojis on my post.

And my follow up response too.

I went to school with a couple of lads, Rob and Mick, the family business was painting pylons, balls of steel.

On a pub trip I watched Mick climb balcony to balcony all the way up a 15 storey Benidorm hotel after an afternoon session, days before mobiles and social media.

Sorry, too long working with things that are less forgiving that 40,000v…
I guess in my world safety is never something that jokes are made out of or some idiot will try it?
Personally unless you are running an FAA hacked firmware, then low signal warning is something I get often? EU rules ( as you all know) reduce the transmission power…and mines stock fw

Here is one of the many pylons less than 200m away from me, a bit nerve wracking the first time you fly over them, but they get easier, always make sure you are at least 250ft AGL depending upon terrain, as you will notice the first time I fly over the first set of pylons the drone is 250ft AGL at my home point take off, but by the 2nd set the ground has dropped off nearly 90ft or more, so take this into account.
