Spring Hollow RC Flyers, East Vincent Twp, Pennsylvania, USA

The Township of East Vincent, in which the airfield resides, limits sound levels to 50 dBA continuous or 65 dBA maximum at the property line housing the activity.

All airplanes with engines (fueled) must be equipped with mufflers that limit the sound they emit to 97 dBA at 9 feet. Model airplane technology has changed over the years and club members are slowly converting to the use of battery powered electric motors which are nearly soundless.

The club's contract with the National Guard currently limits club activities to the hours of 10:00a to sundown daily (Sundays 12:00 noon to sundown).
Battery powered electric planes adhere to this schedule, but the club limits airplanes with engines (fueled) to a 7:00p cutoff.
