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 > [b] 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.
