Ill bet some of that answer can be found somewhere in the same stuff you'd study if you were looking into antenna theory, lots of wave propagation/reflected wave stuff in that kind of application."
Justin: In a Golden Rule room the width is 1.6 times the height and the length is 1.6 times the width. A standing wave is created at the frequency that has the wave length of the length, width and/or height of the room, or their multiples. For example, a room that was 8' high by 16' wide by 32' long would create an awful sounding room as the standing waves created would re-enforce each other and there would be a major bump in the resonance of the room at a certain frequency, at certain places in the room, and also at 1/2 and 1/4 the wavelength. The dimensions of a Golden Rule room do not allow any particular frequency to be "re-enforced", and in fact work to cancel out any standing wave created by any of the dimensions.
And I used to fly control line stunt and combat (5 minute epoxy was my friend) as well, and I too still have an Enya 35 on a stunt plane in the basement. Small world.
Awwrite! Im gladd I found this,, You ever answer a question for me & I dont say thanks, PM me & point me to it, I missied it, The quote about the Enya sent me looking.. ANYONE,, I ask you a question & dont say thanks when ya answer, Point it out, I missed it,,
Thats some cool stuff about that room.
I placed 2nd in a 150 lap rat race with that Enya on a Buster. I pitted 5 times, everyone else pitted 3 times. That sucker ran Goood.. IIRC, I ran 6 gallons thru it before I replaced the piston & sleeve.
