  2. W Champs Field closed 7 August

Budapest Cup

Probably the toughest World Cup contest in a long time. If not the toughest ever.

The event preceded the 2017 World Champs in Szentes, Hungary and was held on the Champs site. All 3 classes F1AB and C were flown together on the World Champs flight line with 6 people to a pole 90 minutes rounds (no F1Q). The first round max was 5 minutes.  In the days before the event the wind was in what we understand to be the prevailing direction and most mornings was fairly gentle. The high temperature was up to 40 C. On the day of the event the wind was in the opposite direction, from the North, turbulent and much stronger, about 5-6 m/s.  In this direction the highway was approximately 2 KM and between the highway and the flight line there were tall partially harvested crops.  So the retrieval is much more difficult than in the ‘normal’ direction.   In spite of the difficulties a good number of people made the 5 minutes max.  A number of models crossed the high way and railway line . One well known F1B flyer D/T’d on top of a glass green house and well known F1A flyer went through the glass on another.  On the pole I was on no flyer who has maxed made in back by the beginning of the second round and they all got off quite quickly.  During the next two rounds the wind lessened slightly and swung to the North East. This put models in the most difficult retrieval zone.  There is row of high trees parallel with the entrance road on the other side of the trees is a canal and a swamp.  It had appeared that the might be a bridge to cross the canal close to the trees but it did not exist and it was  in fact it is about 500 m up wind. In my case I D/T’d just over the trees and landed on the flight line side of the swamp. But the retrieval crew could not see it until they had crossed the canal and see it from the other side. One wing tip was in the water.  My crew got dehydrated as they did not take sufficient water with them and by the time they got back we missed the fourth round so I stopped flying I was reluctant to use another model in these conditions with the Champs only a few days way. A number of people stripped down to their underwear and went into the canal.  While the idea of cooling off in the water had some appeal, the water itself was a bit off putting and probably not all that safe.  About this time the wind dropped and the temperature rose to over 40 C.  The flyoff was held later in the day with a slight cooling but some confusion on pole assignments. I spoke to two of the 3 podium getters in F1B and the both had 2 tree landings (probably better than swamp !) and one also had a canal excursion (this third of the week).

For some reason the F1A flyers seemed to have more difficulty with the conditions compared with F1B. Not sure if it was the turbulence or not. In theory a windy day should have helped the LDA models.  

Well deserved victories for the winners but very challenging day for people planning on taking part in the Champs.
