their bills on one hand, and cause their demise of their (our) flying fields
on the other. Go figure!!<BR><BR><BR><BR>Matt Kebabjian<BR><BR>

TYPE="CITE">Folks, I think we may have been duped on this noise thing. I
love my stealthy pattern plane, but nobody else does. unless I'm flying
alone, nobody else cares whetehr I hear my plane or
not!</BLOCKQUOTE><BR>!<BR><BR> Matt<BR> <BR> I don't
think we have been "duped" on having quiet planes. There was a time in my
life that hearing screaming engines was a joy , however , I now much more
prefer the lower volume of our planes . To me , the tone of a
muffled four stroke at full throttle is the sweetest sound in our hobby .
<BR><BR>I agree that nobody else cares whether or not I can hear my plane
. On the other hand , should noise become an issue with the nieghbors
around our field , everyone would care whether or not I could hear my
plane.<BR><BR>Robert Gainey</FONT><FONT lang=0
