I've been working on a local farmer to see if I might use one of his fields that is too depleted for crops.
I'd recommend that you have a serious think about letting everyone within a wide swathe of the flightpath know just how "increadibly quiet" your plane is compared to tractors / mopeds / helicopters etc. Either you ignore them and hope they don't find the urge to kick-off or you make a pre-emptive "PR" strike. I dragged mine round to the farm and ran it, having first adjusted the slow running down to just over 500 rpm.

"Wow! That's so quiet that it won't frighten the sheep"


An aerial photo might also help.

"Wow! We didn't hear you go past here, yesterday"
