Narrative:
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.
