Yesterday after work I had just enough light to stop by the house grab "Big Orange" and head down to the river for a flight. I got there and noticed only one other vehicle and no one in sight so I got out, set up, and took another look at where I wanted to fly visually and took off.
Thirty seconds later and I'm flying low (35 ft) and slow watching the drone and two huge dogs (Newfoundland) are running right at me coming from my 10. I go to neutral position and watch the dogs as they come up and start smelling me every where. Thankfully, Newfies are not naturally aggressive but I here there owner hollering at me instead of the dogs. She was still 30 yards away so I ignored her and finished my flight.
As I'm coming in to land she finally reached me and wouldn't keep her dogs away to land so I am happy to say I performed my first Evo hand catch with ease. I'm pretty sure it only happened so well because I'm better under pressure.
The whole time she was ranting about drones causing problems. I loaded up and left since it was getting dusky dark and wished her a nice day.
I guess I didn't expect it.
