Narrative:

I orbited the aircraft over a friend's house to an altitude of 2500 ft MSL and continued to make 4 orbits at that altitude. A homeowner idented the aircraft as a disturbance and low flying and proceeded to report to FAA agencies. I flew the aircraft within legal limits violating no rule. The flight caused a disturbance, and the descent procedure and orbiting will not be repeated.
