The BS that went on at NALL on Friday Night

"can all be utilized"

They are looking to meet AMA sound rec's, those are possible ways to accomplish that, nobody said you have to have all those if you don't exceed DB levels.

Direct quote,

"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."

I stand corrected. This will kill the classic line.

It would kill the classic line, and much of the 3D: the cost of complying plus the technical challenges in retrofitting all out planes, in addition to the weight penalties......

We can only hope it is an over reaction.

It would be simpler to have a line boss who enforces the blatant offenders of prop ripping and almost constant full throttle flying.
One warning, then you get grounded. It would calm a lot or people down...and if they don't, they can just go home.

That's it! I'm bringing a glow-tard plane! 10cc limit I will conform!

If you listen really closely you can here the folks at Hacker and Castle Creations cheering over that news.

Well, four of our five gassers are already on cans, and pretty quiet. There are certainly a lot of guys that would need to make changes, including some "top pilots", who don't know how to pull back on the left stick.

Might be a good time to invest in KS/MTW stock.

But then you trade noise for fire hazards with the Castles

I hope so, electric planes can rip props too.

Is that like the 4 out of 5 dentists surveyed?

Exactly, not required........"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."

In other words, bring your brain to the flight line with you every time and don't fly full throttle the whole darn time or you will likely be reprimanded. Lots of awesome flying can be had with much less than full throttle rollers constantly from one end to the other.
