Around 1100 [feet] my student and I were flying south of Buckhorn Lake and west of JNX practicing maneuvers; when I noticed a moving object at my 1 o'clock. It was pretty close to me on my right at about the same altitude (3;500 ft). The drone was heading North bound towards BuckHorn Lake; at a fast speed. The color of the drone was red and it looked like it had 4 small rotors and that is all I could detect. I made a call on the Johnston County Unicom about the drone and planes in the area evacuated. As soon I landed I called Raleigh approach on the telephone and made the report.
A flight instructor and his student encountered a UAV/Drone while practicing training maneuvers. They announced its presence on a local CTAF and; along with other aircraft in the practice area; departed as a precaution.
