Quiet pattern planes

[Rcmaster199 at aol.com]

Yea, yea. I was there at the inception of "QUIET" too. And cut my teeth on it 
as well

What I'm saying is that
 with the exception of a couple gliders and a few electrics, hardly anyone 
else is trying to go real quiet. And the pattern community has been preaching 
it and livimg it for 15+ years now. 

The message isn't getting through to the sport flier especially when he shows 
up with the biggest, baddest noise box around. How can he do that? Well, it's 
available, thats how. To belabor the obvious, just look in any magazine, 
including the AMA's own. The AD $ pay their bills on one hand, and cause 
their demise of their (our) flying fields on the other. Go figure!!
