That reminds me; I should have added that, in my experience, many folks that move out to a rural area may do so in part to enjoy quieter surroundings, and may not take kindly to some of the noisier model engines, and it may be unreasonable to blame them. Electrics and gliders of course shouldn't be an issue in this regard, but some of the larger gas prop and turbines could be. If you're considering buying acreage, this might be something to keep in mind. When people invest so much $$ into their peace and tranquility, you can bet they'll want to protect it. Another issue might be the paranoid types vs FPV, and issues of privacy, since privacy is another common reason for people to buy acreage. All in all, depending on your type of plane and/or flying, sticking to a designated club airfield might be the easiest and best choice unless you're considering very large acreage in an area with no neighbors nearby.
