excess loss energy sound field internal modes gas molecules excess losses due viscosity heat conduction heat radiation diffusion Molecular absorption depends oaly frequency sound also temperature relative humidity Below frequencies few hundred Hz molecular coefficients small can neglected Classical absorption accounts remaining losses negligible frequencies below several KHz normally no

up want fly cant blame members wanting fly site also understand need site closed during community event AMA needs part local Muncie community show support its activities 1 believe loss use model flying short time price worth paying increase stature will bring AMA community income AMA will derive As far am aware event will close site model flying year future will have very careful avoid situation much possible maintaining good posture community will tightrope will walk careful put good organization its members first foremost minds believe can handle situations future Personally Id like see type activity closes site model flying kept absolute minimum perhaps restricting such use no weekend per year new runway facility will certainly give us flexibility using Muncie site will able have scheduled events contests fly-ins etc still allow some amount casual flying take place another part facility will need install some type multisite frequency control system have RC activity

situation much possible maintaining good posture community will tightrope will walk careful put good organization its members first foremost minds believe can handle situations future Personally Id like see type activity closes site model flying kept absolute minimum perhaps restricting such use no weekend per year new runway facility will certainly give us flexibility using Muncie site will
