RE: Is noise really the problem....?
i can agree with you on that one. my flying site is right on top of a capped landfill with a transfer station right next to it and a housing development just went in right next to us, we havent had any complaints though. the only time when we had complaints though was when this one old lady lived on that land. we nearly got kicked off the site, then she died and the children sold the land and a year later we got a housing development. were moving the runway farther away from the houses and were trying to remain low key, so far its worked. hopefully we wont have any complaints about noise, luckily, the loaders and bulldozers at the transfer station are always running nonstop and are much louder then our planes.
