Well understand that, Has been noise sensitive for a long time. Hence my reference to the major (inferred U.S.) market. Everything emanating from the east is really orientated to their wants and exploit their desires. That's just (globalised) business.

Brought a wry smile to my face. Which part of the UK do you live or fly in. I understand in the populated SE corner things might be tough, but is it really that bad in upper East Anglia and the Midlands etc? We don't have it that bad here yet, although for the most part we still have to contend with cow and horse manure and the occasional wallaby bounding back and forth. But, absurdly given our land mass, that day is not far off due to our copycat preference for a sprawling crowded urban environs clustered in relatively small coastal bands. <sigh> At present, we have an arbitary 96db requirement here, but it's tolerantly policed at my two local clubs. It won't be long before it's 92db though, and enforced.

Manufacturer or importer? Apart from labels I don't, some are familiar named imports. eg: Shark motors, Tigershark model (two manufacturers of a cheap version of this in ARF I know of). A lot like Perkins distribution et al who rebrand under thier own U.K. orientated marketing labels.

What pray, curiosity notwithstanding, makes you inquire? Of relevance, I do fly the Seagull PC-9 about which we've spoken and numerous in class of the type mentioned in this thread.
