Vice- president Bill Tee welcomed everyone on such a rainy night. (Brian Heinmiller is away on vacation). A guest is Calvin Strong (a member from 40 years before) is working on his own design metal airplane. Another guest is Ivan Christensen who is 400 hours into an RV-10. The corn roast was a great success due to the yeoman efforts of Ken Yates and Dave and Eillean MacKenzie. Forty-five people enjoyed the affair. This summer’s burger nights (again a result of the efforts of Dave & Eillean) were extremely successful with a total of 536 people all told. This is up 5% over previous years. A quick word from Safety Officer Alain Ouellet on condensation in fuel and dew contamination is warranted in the cool evening flights. Jim Donald the treasurer reported a healthy fiscal situation, with a positive shift from this time last year. There will be an executive meeting Sept. 21 at 14:00 hrs. New Business: A patient of Joe Foster’s, Reg Bonderenco built a Jodel which is now in Australia. He has donated a picture for the club’s wall of fame. Llyod Windh is organizing a bus trip to Ottawa and Trenton for end of April. With a full bus, expect about $60 fare round trip. Gary Wolfe sent email about an old-fashioned swap meet at his hanger Sept. 27. This is Hangar # 18, Unit 2 Gate 20 south side. The control zone around BFC will be expanded for us. RAA is represented at every airspace meeting. The ceiling above BFC will be raised 1 foot! Breath easy. But also, east and west limits will be moved to provide more airspace. See Dick Pulley if interested in instruments from the estate of

the late Larry Weeks. Break for coffe and D’oh-nuts. Bill Tee invited the Canadian Aviation Historical Society (CAHS) to give a talk. This group, started by ex-AVRO employees in 1962 (predominantly Bob Winston and Neil Magavic) is determined to capture Canada’s aviation history. Originally called ‘Early Bird Club of Canada’ the name was changed to prevent confusion with a similarly named group. In Dec. 1965, Volume 1 of CAHS newsletter, ‘Flypast’ was printed (actually typewritten sheets). See their website for meeting details (www.cahs.com). A very informative slide show in the Toronto Island Airport was given. Speaker was thanked by Bill Tee and the Meeting adjourned at 9:55.

Mogas fuel tax rebate when used in aviation A topic that should interest us all in these days of climbing fuel prices is any reduction in costs to help keep us in the air. A mogas fuel tax refund combined with a cheaper fuel price at the pump can lower your total fuel cost anywhere from 30 to 50% per year. The Ontario government refunds $0.12 per liter on Mogas fuel used in general aviation aircraft. Depending on how much flying you do it can reach a substantial amount by the end of the year. For example if burning 2000 liters you would get $240.00 The provincial fuel tax guideline GT 1-2003




outlines how it works. At the bottom of page 6 it states: Gasoline Used as Aviation Fuel Where gasoline is used as “aviation fuel” and tax was paid at the gasoline tax rate of 14.7 cents per litre, the purchaser is entitled to claim a refund of the tax differential of 12 cents per litre (i.e. the gasoline tax rate of 14.7 cents less the aviation fuel tax rate of 2.7 cents). Supporting documents and records to establish the use of gasoline in an aircraft must be submitted with the refund application. You do not have to submit the gas invoices if the total claimed is below $500.00. A copy of the aircraft registration should be supplied with the original request to prove that you have an aircraft. It is recommended that all receipts be kept in a file folder for any potential audits. An excel spreadsheet is an aid in keeping it all organized along with other aircraft expenses. With any government, revenues are important but refunds are not emphasized unless you know where to go. To call and ask for forms from the Ministry of Revenue web site is of limited use in finding what you need. Use the following contact phone numbers at the Ministry of Revenue Gasoline Tax Program General enquiry: 905 433-6394 Refunds: 905 433-6432 And request the following forms: • Application for Refund (Claim Summary –

TEU) • Application for Refund Aircraft, Gasoline

Schedule 9 – TEU – Gasoline Tax Act They should send you also copy of the application guide: • Application to Refund, Aircraft, Gasoline

Schedule 9 – TEU, Gasoline Tax Act The forms are simple to fill out and from personal experience you normally receive your money within 4 weeks of mailing the completed application. Note: You have to do due diligence when using Mogas in your aircraft. Know your fuel

system, upgrade what is needed to handle some ethanol and take proper precaution when fuelling your aircraft. Grounding, filtering and good maintenance goes a long way to making your life easier, safer and lets you enjoy your passion in Aviation. (Thank you to member Alain Ouellet for this research).

Heard on Denver approach frequency: Approach: "Great Lakes One Twenty Three, traffic six o'clock, two miles, 1000 feet above you, a 737." Great Lakes: "Approach, Great Lakes One Twenty Three, if I told you I could see him, I'd be lying." Approach: "If you told me you could see him, you'd be my mother — 'cause you'd have eyes in the back of your head."

Brian Heinmiller opened the meeting at 14:15 with Mike Fuller, Jim Donald, Alain Ouellet, Ian Parson present. Regrets from Bill Tee, Dave MacKenzie, and Per Lindstrom. Alain O. donated a power amplifier towards setting up the sound system in the hangar. Thank you, Alain! Brian H. mentioned he wanted to do a RAA-TR web site upgrade and will discuss with Dave MacK. Alain O. mentioned during the fall season vigilance is required on heater muffs and wing icing. He also mentioned that BFC will have surveyors on the field prior to the upgrades to Rwy 33-15. Be Aware! We picked up 4-5 new members this summer – lets keep up the pace. Directors voted to provide $500 to RAA-Nat to defray cost of insurance. Also decided to adopt the policy that annual membership fees (‘09) are due




now. Secretary is to create a provisional calendar for Directors to review prior to publication. Christmas awards dinner – is it booked? Brian H to investigate. Also, we must investigate a new hangar door winch since the existing has a dubious safety margin. In order to create a knowledge base prior to building seminars, the back page of the newsletter will be a survey to be filled out on members expertise. Such things as ‘Rag and Tube’, composites, all metal, wood and engine expertise needs to be documented. Nav Canada is contemplating Mode C airspace at London Airport due to training. We must email to discourage this. We are still lacking signs for directions to Hangar 41 so Brian H to talk to Julie at BFC. Meeting adjourned at 3:50.

The Besler Steam Plane

1: Engine layout as published in 'Luftwissen' Germany 1941

2: Concept of the Besler Steam Plane

demonstrator

A Travel Air 2000 biplane made the world's first piloted flight under steam power over Oakland, California, on 12 April 1933. The strangest feature of the flight was its relative silence; spectators on the ground could hear the pilot when he called to them from mid-air. The aircraft, piloted by William Besler, had been fitted with a two-cylinder, 150 hp reciprocating engine. An important contribution to its design was made by Nathan C. Price, a former Doble Steam Motors engineer. Price was working on high pressure compact engines for rail and road transport; the purpose of the flight was to obtain publicity for this work. Following its unexpectedly favourable reception Price went to Boeing and worked on various aviation projects, but Boeing dropped the idea of a steam aeroengine in 1936. Price later worked for Lockheed where his experience with developing compact burners for steam boilers helped to design Lockheed's first jet engine. The advantages of the "Besler System" that were claimed at the time included the elimination of audible noise and destructive vibration; greater efficiency at low engine speeds and also at high altitudes where lower air temperatures assisted condensation; reduced likelihood of engine failure; reduced maintenance costs; reduced fuel costs, since fuel oil was used in place of petrol; reduced fire hazard since the fuel was less volatile and operating temperatures were lower; and a lack of need for radio shielding. For capacities in excess of 1000 horse power a turbine captures the energy released by the expansion of steam more efficiently than a piston. Thus, the steam reciprocating engine turned out to be unsuitable for scaling up to the needs of large aircraft.
