While flying this morning I managed to capture this moody photo, 78ED6490-D8EA-4926-A914-438C2A34D691.jpeg this was the 1st photo I’ve put through post, more to follow...... big yawn:rolleyes::rolleyes:

While flying, minding my own business, thoroughly enjoying myself a dog come along and pissed all over my landing pad, I couldn’t believe ito_O The dog owner come over and apologised and offered to clean it, which I declined. I stayed calm, thinking about all the bad press we’ve had about our hobby over the last few weeks, so I just made a joke of it, oh I was fuming...

It could only happen to me..... :rolleyes: washed the pad in the river so hopefully it’s not going to smell.

Has anyone else had anything funny happen to them while flying?

Mods, I started this thread in photos because I’ll be adding more pics.;) But if you need to move, please do;)

It got colder as time went on, got home, warmed up with a nice cup of coffee, always does the trick;)

I’m just editing more photos now, so might put a couple more on here.
 
Who will let the dogs out?

Next time, you could put some treats around your landing pad, but not too close ...

I would say they do not do their business where they eat ... lol ...

You made good shots, and responded very well to this unpleasant thing. What do you do with all the pictures, do you bring some on paper?
