The value of noise

[W. Eddie Batchelor]

I understand the concept.
I think I agree with Gary Fowler also.
My personal feelings are prejudiced from my introduction to R/C and Pattern all about the same time. It also prejudices me against the 4-stroke sound ,although I'm gonna give a YS91 a try on my JR Explorer, when I can get it put together. But I love the sound of a 2-stroke on a tuned pipe. Now you guys with the 4-stroke on a pipe are close and all the above is much more appealling than the deafening "gas" monsters I've seen & heard.

I think we will learn to appreciate the electric "sound" also.

It would be interesting to hear the new gas motors on a pipe ( I know it's being done) I just haven't seen(heard) it yet. :-)

This correlates to my motorcycle prefernece also. I love a Honda Goldwing -and can not stand Harleys. I love it when you pass a GoldWing on the highway " wow there went a 'wing", But with a Harley it's "Huh-Ow, here comes a Harley -put in the ear plugs"
I mention this 'cuz 'cycles have been talked about previously.

I hope no one takes this personal. It's just my opinion. That is what you asked for. Opinions

   I just want to see what others think. I for one love noise maybe it has to do with growing up listening to hard rock music or something. What would Nascar be with near silent cars, or how about John Force running at 300 MPH quietly? Would the Blue Angels be exciting if they didn't roar? Same goes with my planes, I like loud, it sounds cool and it adds to the excitement. Why do you think that IMAC type planes appeal to many? I know we have sound restrictions and all but I can't help the fact that I get turned on by the roar of an engine. I wonder if the new more "PC" electric revolution will be as exciting for spectators and participants alike.But hey it's just my opinion I could be wrong. Mike
