Power transmission is 60Hz in the U.S. and in my opinion they wouldn't be a likely threat. Now, would I test that theory? Heck no.
1) If something goes wrong, whether it is or is not the fault of the power lines, I would hate to have to explain why my "toy" was tangled in those lines.
2) Power transmission lines (big, interstate types) are considered critical infrastructure in the U.S. and anyone doing anything questionable around them is just asking for a visit from the police or feds and possible confiscation of copter, possible prosecution, possibly being placed on lists you don't want to be placed on. Call it Fascism, but is it something you want to test?
Things to stay away from, in general:
Airports and any place where aviation is active (such as a hospital with helo pad or an active wild fire)
Power plants, all, especially nuclear
Military facilities
Government facilities and monuments
Dams
Large bridges and overpasses
and...shooting ranges (you're just asking for it...)
Yes, many aren't technically illegal and you aren't likely to get caught, but unless you are intentionally poking Big Brother in order to get footage of them overstepping their authority, you are just asking for trouble and possible confiscation. If you aren't up for a confrontation, read that list again. |
