RE: Strange guys asking basic questions
The problem is the public perception that we are a major threat because we fly model planes.
They used to just hate us because of the noise, now we have mufflers and electric airplanes and still get complaints.
Last year was stopped by the police for flying my electric Senorita because of a noise complaint. I asked how much noise I was making and what noise level was allowed and he said it didn't matter how much noise I was making, there was a complaint and I had to stop.
I wrote the AMA and they said the cop was right, I have no right to make any noise.
I converted it back to nitro since noise is not really a factor with the complaints.
