Flying in a nice sun under 150kV, where else?

Yeah people seem to know where I am flying these days. Two weeks ago together with Cees (amateur broadcaster) and Dick (pilot) we decided to meet up again and toy around. We were not alone, people from the neighborhood and even the British School in The Netherlands were watching.

A strong warning; This video looks kinda good, like there are no problems, ok maybe a rough landing. This was not the case. Within 20 meter initially we got an out of signal under these lines and the Quadcopter came down from 1 meter. Because of our excellent framework (designed by my mum ;) nothing broke and like a cat everything went ok. This flying was done without any helping of GPS'es or Compass and the altitude limiter was set to about 2 meters max. Please keep in mind that these lines produce an electric field that is harmful.
