<DIV>IMAC is 96db at 25ft over grass and 98 over a hard surface. They
(IMAC) were supposed to drop down 2db in 03 and then possibly 2 more db in
04. You can read all about the IMAC Sound Task Force here. <A

I think they are still holding at the 2002 sound levels but I'm not
positive. We have a couple of guys with 40% at my club. One has
quite canisters and an Air Models 3 blade prop. That plane is extremely
quite in the air. The other has stock mufflers and a 2 blade. With
him cutting down the throttle down with ATV he meets the sound level but it is
defiantly loud on the ground and in the air. </DIV>
