***THREAD HIJACK***

FF TO 2:20 TURN UP THE SOUND REAL LOUD!




***HIJACK OVER*** we now return you to your regularly scheduled program.***

Somewhere at home I have a CD (audio) I bought at the Reno Air Races one year of the planes flying by. Sounds awesome! Put it in a good sound system and sounds like there really is a war bird flying over.

Man has this thread has traveled the distance. Zane, have fun catagorizing this one. I don't know how many topics are enclosed. I think a search of lug nuts will bring up this thread.

If only it had the sound of B540 blades coming into a hot LZ!

Pat I too have an audio CD I bought at Reno some years back...Rare Bear makes some high speed passes for qualifying.....when I turn up the sound to real life, it rattles my wife's shot glass collection in the shadow box..and Scooter the cat hides!!....Love it!

I'm going to find that CD and bring it and a big boom box to JC next year. Play that CD in the boom box near the dining area while everyone's eating dinner and then watch everyone jump up and run over to the runway and be looking up in the air trying to find that war bird flying over

Love my 88 inch 3 blade, but there is a time and place for it at 2850. It's best at 2750 on pull. There are a lot of problems with noise in the back country, I know, to many tree huggers and grennies with big deep pockets, but we're going to have to live with them. Most people still like noise. I enter my 23 T-bucket in our 4th of July parade and the crowd always wants me to rev it up to hear the pipes the whole route. At Lake Powell I hear boats with open headers and always make the comment, how would you like to listen to that all day. Take my quiet I/O anyday. I run quiet pipes on my sled, as do a lot of my friends. There is a lot of sledders that have loud pipes and all the states are cracking down on them with sound monitors at trail heads. We've run a business here in the high country of CO. for 40 years and the increase in the amount of people that use the backcountry is mind boggling. On our first trip into the Idaho backcountry back in 1969 in our 54 180 to Thomas Creek and Indian Creek we hardly saw anyone, unlike today. A lot of people still like airplane noise, our airshows here in CO are always jammed. We as a flying group should try to be well mannered and noise conscious in the backcountry. Had my 71 185 for 35 years and won't give it or the bigfoot up, they are part of the family.

That looks familiar...

I love the sound that big wheel up front makes compared to the tinny sound of some dinky little dork wheel.
