"Quieter than standing next to a running car" isn't a good criterion for subjecting strangers to noise in a public place they're probably visiting at least in part to get some quiet and seclusion.
I don't mean to be a dick; I've been flying R/C for ~25 years and I know how difficult it can be to find fun places to fly and how frustrating when other people get in the way of that. But I also really appreciate quietness and because I live in a city it's a rare gift for me when I do get out into nature. Please have some consideration for others and don't unilaterally decide what noise level is acceptable for them unless there are already significant sources of noise present or you're really sure nobody else is around.
- droithomme 7y agoThe guys with their ATVs and dirt bikes and those dumping trash everywhere are also huge problems.
- jessaustin 7y agoYeah but mostly on BLM land, and that's kind of what it's for? As long as the local USFS rangers are writing tickets, they mostly stay out of national forest. I'm never seen them at national parks, wilderness areas, etc.
- schaefer 7y agoBLM land is most certainly NOT for dumping trash...
- driverdan 7y agoI was trying to think of something to compare it to that others would relate to. A car wasn't a good example since the dB level varies significantly. I was trying to make the point that it's quiet at that distance. If you were having a conversation with someone you wouldn't notice it.
