Default Taking a different tack

Keeping in mind that once someone gets you in their sights and decides that there isn't room enough for them and your model airplane club to co-exsist, things can get pretty discouraging.

I have often wondered this, is it really an issue with the noise, or is it more a fear of seeing these things gyrating through the sky at what must seem like 1000 miles per hour and wondering what would happen if they "got out of control" and crashed!

I know they make noise and I know that some people have very sensitive hearing. When I was flying U/C back in the late 50's early 60's in the park across the street, now that was obnoxious. We had one neighbor who would call in an instant. But today is it really all about the noise. Even with the worst mufflers is it really that intolerable?

Just wondered what others think. Is it really about the noise, or is it a combination of both, the fear added in with the noise.

Has anyone ever asked? Just a curious question....... Please don't hit me )
