I lost my nerve on this flight, I really wanted to delve down into the cooling pot but realised that my RTH was set at 70 metres.
I knew the towers were a lot higher than that. If signal was lost, I'd have shot it.
You see from the hesitation as I was lowering the Phantom into the pot, thats when it ocurred to me.
I'm not sure if signal would have been lost as I was stood on the road behind the Silver car but I didnt chance it.

Those towers are steel reinforced structures so chances of loosing signal inside one of them = almost guaranteed.
You could have got the shot tho if you had been standing at the base of the tower right on the inside edge just out of shot.
Great video tho loved it.
