[quote="pj.ladd(at)btinternet.com"]The intention was to reduce noise >>
Hi there,
Did it? The farmer who owns the field I fly from is constantly wickering on
about the noise from the Kolb. He says it is worse that the Challenger I used
to have and that got him pretty hot under the collar.
Noise seems to be built in with a pusher configuration. Not noise in the cockpit,
that can be dealt with by decent headphones , but the noise which causes
complaints from the neighbours.
i cocked up a landing the other day and decided on another circuit for practice.
I am reluctant to climb out at less than full throttle so went out at full
chat and the farmer was waiting for me when i landed, looking down his nose.
Of course he flies a Cub which makes no more noise than a sewing machine.
Does a larger a gap between the trailing edge and the prop help?

Pat, don't remember what engine/gearbox you are running, but recently I had a chance
to fly a MKIII with a C box on the 582, and a 3 blade Warp. The 3:1 gearbox
makes the prop noise way less than my 2.58:1 box. Also got to stand on the
ground and listen to it while someone else flew it, and it is much quieter. Apparently
prop noise is the biggie.
