[SPAM] Growing Pattern

[Rcmaster199 at aol.com]

It's almost mid November and there is flying in Joisey still. And even I  
took part in the action. There was a fellow there with a 40% composite  model 
with a DA 150 up front on pipes and a carbon prop. It wasn't exactly quiet  in 
the air but it definitely didn't irritate. It had a nice full, almost  gutteral 
sound I thought. It was closer to a pattern engine sound  than these gassies 
used to be.
 
The electrics could be flown with megaphones attached. This already exists.  
Best of both worlds. (now don't you electric afficionados get all your lipos  
flared...I'm only bustin')
 
Been to a nascar race once; an old company I worked for was  sponsoring 
somebody and tickets were free. I really " didn't get it" (to  paraphrase Dave). It 
got my interest for about 15 seconds when they brought  a bunch of 'em 
together at the same time right in front of me, but I left  at around 100 mile mark 
since there weren't anymore pile-ups to that point and I  was bored to tears. 
Now, Formula 1, that's another thing altogether. (same for  you bubbalas... 
only teasing youse).
 
Well.... on second thought, maybe I got more of the nascar thing than I  
thought.
 
Hey Earl, what does the "growl of an offy" sound like?

Hmmm - interesting that the popular stuff seems to be the loud stuff. No  
mufflers for the NASCAR guys - the turbines didn't last long at Indy, but  their 
current stuff is annoying - really liked the growl of an Offy. Then  there are 
top fuel dragsters - mega noise!
 
IMAC alienated a lot of folks by requiring less noise and the sport guys  
with the gassers often run small props so they can really be loud! 
 
No one notices pattern - we're just too quiet, now some are approaching  
silent with electric - could this be the problem?  (Hope  not!)
