Quiet pattern planes

[ronlock]

I'm proud to be part of the pattern community that led the way to
quiet high performance aerobatics.  The benefits of quiet are difficult
to quantify, but I think there are many.

    Folks, I think we may have been duped on this noise thing. I love my stealthy pattern plane, but nobody else does. unless I'm flying alone,  nobody else cares whetehr I hear my plane or not!

    I don't think we have been "duped" on having quiet planes. There was a time in my life that hearing screaming engines was a joy , however , I now much more prefer the   lower volume of our planes . To me , the tone of a muffled four stroke at full throttle is the sweetest sound in our hobby . 

  I agree that nobody else cares whether or not I can hear my plane . On the other hand , should noise become an issue with the nieghbors around our field , everyone would care whether or not I could hear my plane.
