Hey Swager, Glad to hear you are enjoying your flying. I soloed about a month ago and am having a blast with it. It seems so strange to remember back when I started and was soooo spaztic at it. Wow! There is a house somewhat close to our flying area and the man that lived there (he died) used to confiscate the planes that ended up over in his yard. Also he complained about the noise but I doubt it was very loud from that far away. Funny thing is there are full size airplanes that fly over and he at least once came down to tell to keep the noise down. He said he just heard one really loud, flying over head. Turned out it was a real aircraft. Some people just love to complain............ [] What can you say.
