I agree, There was one time that a Cesna was flying around our field watching my SB-XC in the air, after about 10 min. of his persistent fly around's of the field ( aprox 300+ acer's ) I landed, to me he was becoming a hazard,
I fly in rolling hill country. Last season I was out by myself with a 2M. I had the plane waaaay up but not too far out and was puttering about when I heard a serious sound come up very quickly, I glanced over my shoulder and was looking right at a big radial-powered ag plane. The plane was just over the high spots of the hills heading right for where my plane was. I was much higher than he was. I quickly turned to a flight path perpendicular to his and started a shallow dive to get out of the area. I paint all my tail feathers a bright yellow for visibility. I know he saw my plane as he immediately corrected so as to go in the opposite direction to my plane. It was over all so very quickly.
After that I heard him in the area, but he stayed very clear of the field I was flying from.
Yet another test of the ol' adrenaline pump.
