Remote controlled airplane club works to keep noise down

 To the editor:

Trying to be the very best neighbors we can be, and hearing the concerns of the Reiswig Road residents, we (the Kelowna Ogopogo Radio Control Club) relocated our activities to the very far south of our property, just as requested.

Additionally, we have relocated our entrance from the end of Reiswig Road to Lodge Road, so as to have no further traffic impact on Reiswig Road at all.

We continue to vigilantly train our pilots to avoid flying around neighbor properties. Also, we continue to test all our aircraft for noise. No plane may fly if it exceeds 92 dB. Compare the City of Kelowna has a 96 dB sound limit for cars, motorcycles, etc.

We think of ourselves as a community organization, and perhaps like Rotary or Kinsmen, we are always on the lookout for community projects we can help with. For example, on April 14 we put on a talk and demonstration for the retirement residents of the Smith Creek Retirement home in West Kelowna.

On May 5 and 6, we organized a Lake Country Food Bank drive.

As we aim to integrate into the community and neighborhood, we appreciate the support we have been getting from so many Lake Country residents and neighbors. We also have enjoyed introducing the many out of town visitors we get to Lake Country.
