As usual, the Roseburg area control-line enthusiasts hosted a delightful day of flying in the second stop on the four-part Oregon Flying Fun series. Weather was cool but almost dead calm, perfect for lots of flying at the Church on the Rise grass field.

Also as usual with the fun-flies, participants brought out an array of unusual airplanes along with some of the usual Sport, Stunt, Carrier and Combat planes.

And, of course, a highlight was the hamburger-hotdog-chili feast cooked up by Chef Mark Schluter, enjoyed by all the fliers around the flying site's firepit, with a warming blaze maintained by Dave Shrum..

Those attending included Jim Corbett, Mark Crouse, Mike Denlis, Mike Hazel, Walter Hicks, Dave La Fever, Bob Lewis, Terry Mitchell, Chris Nicholls, Gene Pape, Mark Schluter, Dave Shrum, John Thompson and Gary Weems, and possibly some others.

Everyone received at least one door prize, drawn from a generous array of engines and kits provided by the Roseburg fliers.

There was a wide array airplanes on hand, ranging from an .010-powered Wee Wun to full-size Precision aerobatics planes -- with biplanes, electric-powered planes, throttled planes and vintage Combat planes included in the mix.

Next up in the Oregon Flying Fun series is No. 3, in Salem, Ore., on March 4, hosted jointly by the Western Oregon Control-Line Flyers and the Eugene Prop Spinners.  See Where the Action Is for details.
