style='font-size:12.0pt'>Right on point. I've been involved with a flying field
lost due to noise, and was also involved in a successful fight to keep a field
open after neighbor's complaints. Better to be reasonably quiet in the first
place. Once you have upset the neighbors to the point that they start to
complain, their "threshold of pain" becomes much lower. Once they
have made up their minds they don't like you, they probably never will like you
again, regardless of what you do.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

with IMAC is the noise level along with the noise footprint. But, you
know, 20 years ago you could say the same thing about pattern. I just hope the
guys in IMAC (and giant scale in general) can learn from the mistakes made in
pattern -- BEFORE flying fields are lost for both camps!<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

Dave,<br>
What I hope we are saying here, is that being smart and making our aerobatic
planes quiet is good for the continued survival of both events. Of course, if
flyers with large, loud, and far-away 40% planes lose all our practice fields
and practice sites ...<br>
<br>
This is just how the West Windsor contest in Jersey became a "first annual
and only ever" event.<br>
Sadly, I have to say that two or three IMACers joined the club, and within a
few months, we had no Pattern Contest, a 6:00 P.M. weekday curfew on wet power,
and neighbors who are now very aware of our existence. Being noticed ain't
always a good thing! Smart noise abatement programs are aimed at preventing
that first complaint. Once it happens, it's almost too late.<br>
