I don't think the power lines had anything to do with it. There was likely rebar in the concrete, or a vehicle parked too close to the drone when it was launched. Either of these would temporarily screw up the compass. It doesn't mean the compass is out of calibration. It means the compass on start up was tricked into thinking mag north was in one direction when in fact it was in a different direction due to the ferrous metal. And when that happens, you're pretty much doomed if you fly off with it like that. Like I said, it'll usually shudder and shake on the first moments of launch. Or if it's just a little mucked up, it will circle slowly when in hover, known as the toilet bowl effect. If you fly off with it like that, you'd be lucky to get it back. Sorry again.
Thanks for the feedback, never knew about watching the movement after takeoff.
