RE: BME 102 Question
No I don't.
At our field we simply browbeat the noisy flyers .
If it is noisy we comment on it.
To hell with the *****footin aound
If the plane is noisy it is obvious .
No set of AMA rules will ever solve the problem.
Tell the clowns they are cutting their own and every one elses throats by creating a nuisance.
If they don't like it they can leave.
It is only the foolish and stubborn and stupid who continue to cause noise when it poses a problem.
If it poses no problem to others - well--make all the noise you want.
ANY plane can be quiet .
The problem is simply those who want their model to be noisy.
For those - our patience is exhausted.
You have no devine right to make irritating noise.
Sound rude?
yep -it is .
But - how do you feel?
Do you honestly believe AMA can make a workable rule?
Or is AMA interested in a workable rule?
AMA *****foots the noise issue because a huge voting block is grounded in the motor noises of their youth . Mufflers?
I put one on in 1949 - a tin gadget by McCoy, it fell apart.
the next time was probably in 1972.
There was always another place to go fly.
Noise has been the problem with model engines for over 50 years but AMA really has done little to solve it .
and likely never will.
Wish I had something nice to say about the "scientific rule" by AMA -but I don't .
