What I'm saying is that<BR>
with the exception of a couple gliders and a few electrics, hardly anyone else is trying to go real quiet. And the pattern community has been preaching it and livimg it for 15+ years now. <BR>

The message isn't getting through to the sport flier especially when he shows up with the biggest, baddest noise box around. How can he do that? Well, it's available, thats how. To belabor the obvious, just look in any magazine, including the AMA's own. The AD $ pay their bills on one hand, and cause their demise of their (our) flying fields on the other. Go figure!!<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>
