That's why electrics are gaining in popularity. Smaller fields/ less noise/ somewhat safer.

People in any givin area will alter their hobby to correspond to local conditions if it satisfies their convenience factor. (there is NO way anyone will understand what I just said, cause I don't)

What I mean is.
Where I live and fly I can fly anything. 100s of acres of nothin.
If it suddenly was developed and I had houses all around I'd just switch to small electrics/ helis etc before I'd drive 30 minutes just to fly.
