OHMYGOSH!!!!!   Hey Al... have you tried being in the same county as the
screaming banshee????   Without any type of muffling or resonating chamber,
I hope your ears are going to be able to pass your next flight medical!!!

On my two 12a gyros I've built, I had the exhaust behind me, and even had
multiple mufflers, and STILL had to have ANR headsets just to sit close
enough to fly the beast!!!

Good luck living with the banshee!!

  On the other hand, Chuck Dunlap's muffled Rotary is so quiet you wouldnt
even know it is running. I saw (and heard) Alan Tolle's unmuffled rotary at
one time. I didnt think it was as loud as some of the other aircraft in the
neighborhood at the time. I will just have to see how loud it turns out to be.
