are some facts. </span></font> <br>

aside by the county SPECIFICALLY for the development of and RC flying field.
The county approached the RRCC about 1997 and asked us to develop this site per
a plane they had, which we 100% complied with, and met all goals. We are in
year 8 of a 20 year $1 lease. This lady who filed this lawsuit in small
claims court first attack us 3 years ago. I was president. We had a meeting at the
Collin county Parks Managers office so they could hear her complaints and our
responses. Her complaint was noise. At that time Lance who was VP and I had
already started a manditory noise restriction club legislation and it was
passed by our membership. This was because we knew we had a problem with
several 100cc gas engines rating 108dB on the ground (pattern style measurment)
and screaming supersonic props in the air.</span></font> <br>
<font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>The
lady IS nuts and went hysterical during this meeting with the county. I invited
the County managers out to our field with this lady present to witness the
"noise". in short we flew demos with several types of plane and
measured noise on he ground and during overfly at and past our boundaries. The
County managers witnessed that Lance's IMAC style plane (101 dB pattern style
measurement) was quieter flying over the 950 ft boundary road than the traffic
on the road itself by a factor of 2-4 X. So they concluded that there IS
NOT a noise problem at our field. The complaining lady was not happy.</span></font>

<font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>This
lady consistently calls the Sheriff about noise. The Sheriff is obliged to show
up at our field, but nothing ever happens. The plane she has pointed out to the
Sherriff about the horrible noise is none other than Lance's Symphony.
During our demo, Lance flew his pattern plane (NATS legal) PAST the
boundary road directly over my head at 150ft high-I could not get a dB reading
over the background noise. </span></font><br>
<br>
<font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>So, I
suppose that the lady got SO UPSET about the noise that she ran out of her
trailer house, fell off the steps and broke her arm , so therfore it is the
fault of the RRCC. She could not then work (she works for the USPO, so we
better be careful!!!) and obviously the USPO has no short term disability
insurance, and so no wages are our fault too. Trespassing must be planes flying
over her house as we are not aware of any real trespassing. Court costs and
"suffering" are obvious.</span></font> <br>
<br>
<font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>We are
contacting the AMA today, and the county managers. </span></font><br>
<br>
<font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>Anyone
have any real advice for this situation that could help? Fire bombing her
trailer is not an option, even though it would solve the problem. I am not sure,
but I suspect that she is from the Irish branch of AL-Queda (dyed bright red
hair).</span></font> <br>
<br>
<font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>Seriously.....any
ideas would be appreciated-especially from lawyers on how we should handle
this. The lady DOES NOT have a lawyer, and it is small claims court. I do not
