FAMILY="SANSSERIF"> 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
