almost flat high intensity levels modern research indicate Fletcher Munson about 20% right low level compensation modem high fidelity sound equipment few dB low high frequencies Furthermore compensation suggested Fletcher Munson required different weighting scheme dB increase loudness extremely cumbersome procedure So practical purposes 2 scales 2 measuring systems analyze sound noise SPL scale measured sound meter set linear weighting HL scale measured sound meter set weighting dBA Dr Quevedo also states really two instances require use SPL scale linear measurement clinical audiometer calibration other reason use SPL scale identify sounds although perceived very loud could present physical damage ear due very large amount energy present very low very high frequencies Dr Quevedo also discussed question Power versus Force working sound Some work done prove concept power applied sound much important point made sound opposed other forms energy need know FORCE sound case

really no concept what flying airplanes about membership continued grow did staff Soon relocating building directly across street larger quarters As membership continued grow computers coming picture opportunity help convert records over electronic database order give members better service AMA did own its own computers outsourced big step AMA also soon first experience Nationalsin Oshkosh WI eager attend Nats since heard much about wonderful experience plus first real exposure tiny airplanes Boy surprised worked long hours Without help hundreds volunteers event would never have taken

kept 3 x 5 cards Everyone busy kept talking about miniature airplanes About three months later moved few blocks away 15th Street Boy excited room less clutter time located same building NAA still really no concept what flying airplanes about membership continued grow did staff Soon relocating building directly across street larger quarters As membership continued grow computers coming picture opportunity help convert records over electronic database order give members better service AMA did own its own computers outsourced big step AMA also soon first experience Nationalsin Oshkosh WI eager attend Nats since heard much about wonderful experience plus first real exposure tiny airplanes Boy surprised worked long hours Without help hundreds volunteers event would never have taken place truly amazing also first experience meeting AMAs past heroes president AMA Johnny Clemens Vice Presidents people read about talked phone Only did realize model airplanes big business members deeply involved make experience wonderful modelers attending Nats After beginning understand little what AMA about continued attend work Nationals years come meeting working great modelers leaders past Learning respect what people doing seeing great pleasures received both putting event well participating event 70s decided AMA needed own its own place Rent District high could own about same

almost flat high intensity levels modern research indicate Fletcher Munson about 20% right low level compensation modem high fidelity sound equipment few dB low high frequencies Furthermore

kept 3 x 5 cards Everyone busy kept talking about miniature airplanes About three months later moved few blocks away 15th Street Boy excited room less clutter time located same building NAA still really no concept what flying airplanes about membership continued grow did staff Soon relocating building directly across street larger quarters As membership continued grow computers coming picture opportunity help convert records over electronic database order give members better service AMA did own its own computers outsourced big step AMA also soon first experience Nationalsin Oshkosh WI eager attend Nats since heard much about wonderful experience plus first real exposure tiny airplanes Boy surprised worked long hours Without help hundreds volunteers event would never have taken place truly amazing also first experience meeting AMAs past heroes president AMA Johnny Clemens Vice Presidents people read about talked phone Only did realize model airplanes big business members deeply involved make experience wonderful modelers attending Nats After beginning understand little what AMA about continued attend work Nationals years come meeting working great modelers leaders past Learning respect what people doing seeing great pleasures received both putting event well participating event 70s decided AMA needed own its own place Rent District high could own about same cost addition membership continued grow did staff AMA also bought its first computer system time So search began Several areas explored Orlando Florida someplace Ohio Kansas Reston Virginia Boy

Carl Wheeley After years residing Virginia loss flying sites throughout country AMA took look needs membership decided time have national flying site members could come fly anytime anywhere search began again several areas looked decision made reside Muncie IN have say employees point view move favorable Only six people Virginia moved AMA everyone else hired biggest undertaking have involved since joining work force challenge hire train approximately 45 employees now business owning managing flying site three short years have Muncie have come long way AMA has wonderful beginning new museum great store nice place fly cant say much Academy would have accomplished help volunteers Volunteers make organization work put many long hours see worlds greatest modeling association Enough nostalgia AMA history being covered issue others year will mark another historic event AMA Nationals being held own property hope members get chance attend feel like have grown up AMA have seen people

almost flat high intensity levels modern research indicate Fletcher Munson about 20% right low level compensation modem high fidelity sound equipment few dB low high frequencies Furthermore compensation suggested Fletcher Munson required different weighting scheme dB increase loudness extremely cumbersome procedure So practical purposes 2 scales 2 measuring systems analyze sound noise SPL scale measured sound meter set linear weighting HL scale measured sound meter set weighting dBA Dr Quevedo also states really two instances require use SPL scale linear measurement clinical audiometer calibration other reason use SPL scale identify sounds although perceived very loud could present physical damage ear due very large amount energy present very low very high frequencies Dr Quevedo also discussed question Power versus Force working sound Some work done prove concept power applied sound much important point made sound opposed other forms energy need know FORCE sound case

kept 3 x 5 cards Everyone busy kept talking about miniature airplanes About three months later moved few blocks away 15th Street Boy excited room less clutter time located same building NAA still really no concept what flying airplanes about membership continued grow did staff Soon relocating building directly across street larger quarters As membership continued grow computers coming picture opportunity help convert records over electronic database order give members better service AMA did own its own computers outsourced big step AMA also soon first experience Nationalsin Oshkosh WI eager attend Nats since heard much about wonderful experience plus first real exposure tiny airplanes Boy surprised worked long hours Without help hundreds volunteers event would never have taken
