RE: ENGINE sound level
They have an 89db limit at one field I fly at. My Magnum 52 with a Master Airscrew 11x6 was several db too loud. Just switiching to an APC of the same size brought it down to exactly 89 db. An 11x7 would have been even quieter. The club members told me that a switch to APC brings most of the violators within limits.
