Huron Cup

This past weekend we had glorious weather for the Huron cup.

Saturday started with some controversy however. When arriving at Range
Control we were told that we would not be able to use motorcycles for
retrieval as we have been doing without problems for many years. No amount
of discussion would make them change their minds so the flyers with chase
bikes had to reluctantly leave them behind at range control. This meant
that we would have to retrieve all of the models on foot! Some of the older
flyers felt that this would not be possible due to various health issues
and unfortunately we had a few flyers decide to either not enter or go
home. This is a sad situation as the weather was nearly ideal for a free
flight contest. Rest assured that we will be trying very hard to rectify
this situation for the Canada Cup in August.

We had a small but enthusiastic contingent from America which is always
nice to see. Roger Morrell brought some of his grandsons to terrorize the
senior F1B flyers. The lads flew very well!
I brought my 10 year old nephew Jack and he was a great help to his Uncle
on the score table. He also did very well in F1G (Coupe) as the results
show!

The drift on Saturday morning was light and roughly from the South. After
the 2nd round the wind shifted towards the west so a decision was made to
suspend the next round and move towards the West side of the field. After
that the wind behaved itself and we were able to fly the remainder of the
seven rounds of FAI from that location. The air was very tricky however as
we had only 1 clean score in each of the FAI events. The thermals are not
always easy to pick at CFB Borden! A few models left the field due to some
massive thermals and very long decents on DT. Radio DT is almost essential
at Borden but the risk of DTing below the max time is always a risk. Then
again a model 50 ft up a pine tree is not good either!!

As of this writing the only model unaccounted for was Cameron Ackerley's
F1B (lost in the 4th round). Cameron decided to retire from the contest at
that point and concentrate on finding his model.

While the winds were light both Saturday and Sunday, the temperature was
high (31 C with high humidity) making retrieval on foot doubly difficult.
Water and sunscreen were two essentials for the weekend.

Some scores of mention are Wil Murrell's excellent 2nd place in F1B as a
Junior and Jack Merrifield's 3rd place in F1G also as a Junior. They kept
the senior flyers on their tows!

While the turnout wasn't large by any standards, the flying was excellent
and it was great to see both new and old faces again on the flying field.

I hope to see you all again (and more hopefully!) next month at the Canada
Cup. Remember, it is both a World cup AND America's cup contest so come on
out and try and get some extra points!

But watch out for those Juniors......

More on wet F1C

 Hi Roger

     My understanding of the use of water injection in both piston and turbine engines is to spray the water into the incomming air just as it enters the intake manifold or turbine intake.  This water evaporates and in the process cools and condenses the incomming charge of air which gives a mild supercharging effect.  It is particularly effective on hot dry days, as you would expect.  I believe that in practice, the water was mixed with methanol to prevent freeze up when used in aeroengines.
