I think I have convinced the board of directors to take a look at the use of turbines at our field. We have a strict 98db noise limit that no turbine would ever be close to making. I think they can all agree, though, that the noise signature of an in-flight turbine is much less obtrusive than a 2 stroke piston engine.

I think it would be informative and fun if we could get one of the reps to come to the field, put on a short presentation and ground school and give some in-flight demonstrations. We could do a few sound checks and everyone could become familiar with turbine operation. Maybe a couple of different configurations, open and closed engine installations.

I am going to bring it up tomorrow night at the meeting and wanted to get some info before I go. We are in northern Ca, so I know there are a few rep's in the area. Thanks for any info.

BTW, we have a 400' by 50' asphalt runway.
