Too close for comfort

Hit one line and prob just crash the drone.....no PHZZZTTTT but if the drone flew up between lines and created a jumper across the two then a big PHZZTTT will certainly happen and drone cost will be insignificant to the cost of line shut-down & repair.

The important thing is how calmly you handled the situation and determined how to extricate your drone safely. The slow spin in place instead of a knee jerk reaction was impressive.

I've flown near power sub stations and power lines with no errors at all during the flights.

This FPV pilot found out what happens if you touch a power line starting at the 3:30 mark.

Yikes!

Thanks. I recently retired from a career in anesthesia. Quick reaction in a calm manner is my norm.

Been there, done that. Great recovery!

Thanks for your help.
Let’s see if third is the charm…

Been there, myself. Not fun.
