Proper thunderstorms are one of things I miss most about living on the South African highveld. In summer you get an amazing display of nature's power at least twice a week with a full on electric storm.

Electrickery--scarey !

Was at the field and had the 450 in a gentle hover at around fiveish, poor wee sod was being blown about too much for my liking, nearly took me hat off so down she was placed and at that point there was that terrific thunder bang, man it was a biggy too and virually at the same time as the lightning flash, so it was right over our heads. Made me think though, what could the effects of all that electro whizzery up there have on our very sensitive radio set ups were they to be airborne at the same time ?
