My neighbours have their own runway, both Ron & his wife are avid pilots, flying a number of Cessna's & Ron also flys/builds, contraptions, that actually fly!
Sunday, i'm prepping dinner & Bev, Ron's wife calls, "We need your help, come quick & bring your UAV".(note-both Ron & Bev, refuse to use the "drone" word).
The issue- Ron wants to take up a client in his 2 man homebuilt, but, local Canada geese won't get out of the way!
This time of year, smallish pond has formed at end of the runway, geese use as a social gathering stop.
So, up goes my P3A, I come over them at 60 meters, slowly lowering into the biggest pod of them to scare em off.
5-6 of these big muthers take off & circle my P3, turns into a chase/follow escapade,. I realize if one of these big guys hit me,i'm toast, plus, at distance, its hard to tell them from me, all are white blobs in the sky.The rest of the flock, say 40-60 of them, has taken no notice at all!
Mission is a total failure, Bev says- They're just playing with you! RTH is initated & out come the shotguns!
Fun day though
