Weather had not been kind to control-line fliers in the 2017 Oregon Flying Fun series, but it cleared up for the fourth installment, as the fliers returned to the Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum grounds for the first time in two years. It was cloudy with a little drizzle early, but the weather improved steadily all day. Flying went on right past the door-prize hand out at 2:30 p.m. There was never more than a slight breeze, so CL modelers were able to entertain thegtrickle of spectators from among the museum visitors with a full range of types of flying. Sport, Stunt, Combat and Carrier planes were flown on one asphalt circle and one grass circle.

Organizers were able to carve out a pavement circle in the parking lot that worked around parked airplanes and concrete planters.

The event was hosted by The Evergreen Aero Modelers, and the club provided a very nice array of door prizes for all the participants.

Signing up to fly were: Mike Denlis, Richard Entwhistle, Mike Hazel, Bob Lewis, Gene Pape, Doug Powers, Dave Royer, Dave Shrum, John Thompson and Bruce Tunberg.

"Many thanks are extended to The Evergreen Aviation Modelers including Dave Bibbee for museum liason and field prep duties, and Dave Beal for a generous contribution to the prize table," organizer Jerry Eichten said.  "Others on hand include TEAM president Jeff Jones and TEAM members Cecil Mead, Bill Lawrence and, Bill Heveron." 

Earlier stops in the Oregon Flying Fun series were in Portland, Salem and Roseburg. See the Flying Lines home page for links to articles on those events.
