I never fly low if those things are there, what I do is pick an area that I like, then fly no lower than about 200ft and check real close for power lines and such. I ain't stuppiiid. After an area is checked real good than I put it as a low and slow fun spot. Out west these areas are real easy to find. I have mountains near by and when the winds are good and the weather is clear I fly into them. I've taken mountain flying classes and the first thing they teach ya is to go slow and off to one side, the right side works best, this does two things, it allows you to have an out by being able to make a turn and go back out, and it allows you to hang wide and look into your next turn. On that one you can be hanging wide left or right. thanks for the concern.
