Rail line Interference???

[AH-1G]

I was out today to shoot an abandoned rail line while I was walking behind the h 10' it started drifting, getting wobbly and yellow flashing light, I quickly backed out and regained stability. Yes I was in angle mode the whole time. no overhead wires anywhere and no canopy of trees. Do you think the rail lines could cause RF interference?

I imagine the steel in the tracks could have played a part in messing with the compass. What elevation were you?

2 feet

2 feet

That would be my guess, I could not find anything about a yellow light other than the camera card full or missing, and that would be on the camera side. If the site is near you perhaps you can just hold the H over the tracks to verify.

I have read that the Yellow during flight indicates it lost connection between the ST10 and Bird.

Even though it may look yellow I suspect it was orange flashing which would be a compass warning. You can confirm that in the telemetry which will show an error code 32.
Two feet above rails can certainly interfere with the compass.
