ZDZ 210 is two noisy?

I would mix the throttle on the transmitter to give you a low ATV (about 1/3rd throttle) with the flick of a switch. Since ground tests don't mean anything, you might as well demonstrate a very low dB on the ground. They'll never know, and since their test is meaningless, I wouldn't lose a minute's sleep over it.

You guys are looking at this problem the wrong way. They way to correct this db test problem is to become an active leader in your club. This is how you can make sure you have a voice in how things are done at your field.

Our club was going to have a 100db test at the AMA 10 foot mark. There is no 100-150 engine that produces any power that will meet this test. But the fact that I am on the BOD I was able to change the test. Since I am an active board member I was able to force them to listen to me.

That being said you have to make an effort to be quiet. I like the guys that are running 2 blade wood and think they are quiet. Or a quiet muffler setup and a mejzlik 30-12 but then they fly full throttle ripping the prop across the sky.

Now we have 3 spots on the board and we are getting other BOD members on our side.

The problem they have at SLRC is a neighbor that is complaining about the noise....nothing they can do about that.

If a neighbor is complaining maybe some of the planes are to loud. It sounds like his is not loud in the air.

This is my point, actually go after the people that are loud in the air, including turbines. If you have no say in the club you just have to deal with what the club says even if they are idiots. IF you are in charge of your field you can make changes, hopefully using a little common sense.
