You can beam back real time video, so why not a simple stall warning? Do it Cessna sytle with a simple AOA vane that sends back a tone. Its not rocket applicances or anything. I feel real sorry for those guys, such nice planes augered in...

Status: offline 		The American AMA comment from the Norweigan about 9 months ago chapped my **** when I just read it. Just found this thread after reading comments about it for months. I've read about nitpicking flying exams, levels of beginner restrictions, noise restrictions, etc in Europe, and reading a comment like that gets me a bit fired up. I lived in Europe about 20 years ago, and the fields I visited wouldn't allow flying during any weekday, or most weekends. Those guys were grateful for the few days a year they did fly. Maybe a visit over here would enlighten a few misinformed people about the freedoms to fly r/c that we enjoy. Sheesh. That writer would think he had died and gone to Heaven if he were to visit my club. What in the world was he thinking when he wrote that? The smallest gasser at my club would be outlawed just about everywhere in Europe. I read the other day where an OS .46 FX violated the noise rule by 3 dB in Europe. I forget the country now, but can you imagine not being able to fly your FX?

Sorry to vent, but I know that comment was uncalled for.

Not fly my OS 46FX? Oh, the pain, the suffering, the persecution!

OK, I'll get a Magnum XLS 46 and fly that.

Haw.

Sorry, I know what you mean, and the Maggie will probably be just as loud, but I couldn't resist the nasty crack.

Bill.

that was me who failed the noise test Standard FX - standard pipe - even have a silicon exhaust deflector on Noise limit is 80db measured only a few metres away. Also we can only have 3 planes in the air at any given time due to noise restrictions!

We can only fly on Sundays, we don't have ANY amenities at our field which is basically a farmers field with a runway mowed in the middle by one of the members, and when it's wet we have to walk absolutely ages to get to the flightline because we dont want to mess up the farmers field with ruts left behind by our cars. And we LOVE it - because it's the best we can get in our area. You have really hit the nail on the head with your post. When I see some of the runways etc in posts on this forum I am really quite jealous On top of that we have CRAP weather too (it's grey and windy today) and it's the middle of summer!

Some people don't know they were born

I remember now that it was you who posted that. I am always interested in your comments about the weather too. I've lived in Europe and my wife is from Europe, so I tend to pay attention to any news from there. There are a lot of things better there and I miss them, but some things aren't better, like r/c flying in a lot of places. Thanks for the perspective. I wasn't bashing any thing or place, but I felt that I had to make some kind of corrective comment. I'm always very thankful for our little club. I've read about some of the bad conditions some clubs have over here too. We don't have much in the way of amenities, but there is nothing to complain about. It is a very nice place and nobody bothers us. I lived in this tiny village in Germany and the club field was one of the most beautiful I've ever seen. It was on the edge of a river valley with grass and a runway that looked professionally kept. It didn't have much wind, but you could slope soar over at the edge if you wanted. It was terrific, but they rarely were able to fly. I used to drive up and sit to admire it. It was like a ghost town almost every weekend and I found that a shame. About 50 guys would show up on the flying days with some incredible planes, just not very often. That was a dream site for sure.

Is the OS that loud? Are you able to get around the noise limits and fly it? Maybe another prop would cut the noise some. I'm going out today (Friday) as my former instructor is coming out with one of his big ones with a Zenoah. That is one loud plane and he loves full throttle!

Bill, I'll get this back on topic. I gave my wife the link to the S. African video and she was very unhappy seeing all of the crashes. She has been to S. A. and understood the weather conditions when I told her. She liked the music though. Maybe she will get the jet bug and insist that I start thinking about one....(g)
