Default RE: Is noise really the problem....?

If you abide by the noise ordinances in your area, then you cannot be forced to sell your property due to noise.

If you fly in a parking lot, you will eventually be forced out due noise and disturbing the peice. That will be the complaint. That parking lot in the middle of nowhere WILL have developement around it sooner or later. The land grab is here. Actually the land grab happened years ago. Cities are full of soccer fields and soft ball diamonds, and parks. You paid for them all. You keep paying for them. The cities grew up around these parks and expanded outward. You got pushed out with the new growth. And where are your parks ? You didn't get any. We are too few to be recognised. ( I know there are a few exceptions ).

Answer : Like Horrace said, drive out in the country and buy the land now, while you still can. And buy enough land to provide a buffer around you so that one day the new neighbors can't prove you are violating any noise ordinance.

Other answer : We all start to fly Parkflyers and electrics.

Both are happening at the same time. Some of us are preparring and purchasing land. Others are finding alternative ways to fly in their neighborhoods. Its up to you to decide which solution serves you and your hobby best.

For many of us, this is old news. We saw it coming, then got run over by it. For many of you , the reality of realty is just coming into focus. And for many out there, this is abstract and not concerning.
