Will it?

[Kissthesky]

I wanting to fly and get some footage of some really cool railroad tracks. Directly across the street I’m assuming about 150 to 200 feet away there is a power substation. Will the power substation interfere with my p4p in any way? I could really get some cool footage if not. I’ve already had one fly away and just want to cover my bases before I have another.

I would higlhy doubt it, as long as you keep a good distance away from the actual transmission line's.........say 100ft or so. I fly around high tension lines quite a bit, never had any issues.

The lines are nowhere near the railroad tracks I could drive over there it’s really close to my house and provide pictures later on if need be

At 150-200ft there will be no effect

Agreed. There are no specific physical effects from high-voltage transmission lines that should affect a UAV. The current is not particularly high and will not produce much in the way of a magnetic field, and the frequency is far too low for any relevant RF emissions.

On a seperate note, fly along tracks is great practice for flying level and straight, and makes for some entrancing footage.
