I was flying in a field today and I tried calibrating the compass on my Phantom Vision+ and was having trouble getting the confirmatory green flashing LEDs. I tried about 3 times and had no luck and was bamboozled until I looked up. I see 345,000 volt long-distance power lines about 85 feet directly above my head. Trying to recall college physics I took 25 years ago, I knew that higher voltage means stronger magnetic field, correct? Or is it based on current?
So anyway I walked about 200 yds. away from the power lines and the compass calibrated on the first attempt.
Please pass this along to other folks who might be little rusty on that "Fundamentals of Electromagnetism" course they took many moons ago.
