Default RE: Flying Field Airplane noise

We actually did most of what has been suggested. Last year a noise complaint was registered. The testing showed we were well within the limits of the old noise ordinance. The party that made the complaint then complained that we had flown abnormally quite on the days the test were done. We as a club further worked to lower the noise of our AC, curtailed our operating hours, and the club President wrote the complainer a very nice letter explaining what we were doing. Since she is part of a political action group the group got the law changed to single out RC models. The area around our airfield is abnormally quiet, as is a lot of Alaska. When measured abient noise in the area is below 40 DB. We've never overflown her property or house.

On the other hand she has lied about us harrasing wildlife, and as GUNS said screamd and yelled at him while he was trying to fly his plane.

Once again thank for all the input and well wishes. I'll keep this thread going as their is news to share.
