Apparently I flew my CTH Deep Reaper too close to this guy's house and he called the police on us. It turns out he had been throwing rocks at my plane during a couple of passes before we finally noticed him. But, we didn't know he had been doing that until I got home and looked at the HD video. I didn't see him in the flight-camera until my spotter pointed him out (it's hard to see him here in the onboard HD footage unless you know when/where to look). On a couple of the passes over the street in front of his driveway, you can see him throwing rocks at my plane! (5:50, 7:00) I think he tried to hit it with rope too (9:43). He claimed I was intentionally buzzing him and his property, when I was staying over the street, and I only cut across the corner of his property on the last pass right after he stepped out into the street in an attempt to bring down my plane, which was the pass that we finally noticed him.
After that pass, he went back inside and came back out, walking towards us on top of the hill (with a baseball bat) and told us he was going to call the police. At this point I was still flying, being careful to avoid him. He is yelling at us, we tried to calmly reason with him but he was fuming and wouldn't listen to us. He went back to his house to call the cops, so we called them first to let them know there was an angry homeowner with a bat. When the officer arrived, he sided with us, but we apologized anyway. This was about the time that the homeowner finally realized there was a camera onboard the airplane and had caught everything. When the officer asked about the bat, the homeowner claimed it was a walking stick! After calming him down, the officer asked for a ride in the goggles, so we happily obliged. We offered goggles to the homeowner as well, but he refused and stormed off. We continued to fly, but much further away from the house.
We had permission to fly here from the company that owns the empty lots, and had flown here many, many times before without incident. He apparently had never seen us before, and the only reason he saw us this time is because he had been standing in his garage with the door open. Otherwise, he could not have heard the airplane from inside.
Use your head people, this is an ELECTRIC airplane, it's FOAM and it's a PUSHER prop!
