I am thinking I need to build a plane with floats. Pretty nice flying grounds they have there.

Well this is kinda a bummer. Just saw this on the tripple tree website for next year. Guess I'm going to have to install some canisters if I want to fly there next year.
JOE NALL WEEK 2016 – QUIET IS THE WORD!
Recent AMA articles have dealt with the issue of noise created by some of our models. Noise is certainly in the top two or three issues faced by many clubs around the world. If we, as modelers, wait for our neighbors to complain, you can rest assured the issue is significant.
To prevent ANY possible problems with our current and future neighbors, Triple Tree will require, beginning with Joe Nall 2016 to be “neighbor friendly”. Canister mufflers, three blade props, “soft mounting” of engines, and less than full throttle passes can all be utilized to make our models more environmentally friendly and will be a requirement for Joe Nell 2016.
Mr. Pat has donated this incredible facility to all of us modelers. We, as a group, have the responsibility to ensure it will be here for many generations to come. We cannot allow noise to be the demon that kills the golden goose. Plan ahead now to get any “prop ripping” models quieted down for Joe Nall 2016. We will have noise monitoring equipment on-site and will, for the first time, be monitoring sound levels. Gross offenders will be asked to terminate flight of any model exceeding AMA suggested noise guidelines. We must proactively reduce our noise footprint to ensure the long-term survival of “The Home of Fun, Fellowship and Hospitality”.
Thanks in advance for your help with this important issue.

Are you going to retrofit all your planes?

I don't know, I still have a set of pro flows. Its probably not going to be as strict as say noise judging for score in IMAC, i think its more or less geared at people who fly full WOT all the time. I'm sure there will be more clarification but sure would hate to make the trip all the way there to find out I can't fly.

I will bet you are right on the money. If you fly and aren't at WOT ripping the prop the whole flight, you shouldn't have anything to worry about.

From Wes (flight line boss at the 3D line):
"Please everyone don't panic, I'm talking to the other Triple Tree guys and will let you know a more clear policy on the subject of noise, right now the main issue is "prop ripping" noise not mufflers. So as soon as I get something I'll post it."
