From Our President
Hi All, I love this time of year, when the Sun comes a bit closer, and everything comes back to life! I have been enjoying some videos posted by others out at our flying field and want to once again say thanks to our Flying Field Lawn Maintenance Supervisor Extraordinaire, (FFLMSE) Jim Corbett, for making our field a premiere location to enjoy this hobby! Jim spends an enormous amount of time working on
things at the field, and somehow sneaks it by his Wife! I'm kidding! Thanks Jim!
I have been trying to finish up my Waco biplane to make the May 18th date for our Mickey Cohen Winter Build Challenge! I think I can! I think I can!...
The club took part in the Creswell swap meet last Saturday, and we made around $250.00, and I had fun catching up with some guys from various clubs and letting them take advantage of my lack of sales skills! I hope to see you all at our next meeting! Roger

April meeting minutes
Meeting called to order at 7:05 P.M. Treasurers report read and approved
Old Business: Field conditions were discussed. Toilet service will resume in early May.
Winter Build maiden day is a little over a week away. Saturday May 18 is the day. We will start the flights between 9 and 10 a.m. I have a Sig 4 star 40 to raffle off to builders and a pack of servo screws from RTL fasteners to raffle off. Also, I will cook lunch for those in attendance and donations will go to the Kiwanis Club of Fern Ridge to support Doernbecher Children’s Hospital. After we are done with the maiden flights the field will be open for fun flying. So, come out and watch some new kit-built planes take flight, eat some lunch and then fly a little yourself. See you there, Jeff Lutz.

Old R/C Videos - Jim Hansen Over 200 episodes of the old Scale Aircraft Show produced by Portland Skyknight Dick Hansen for community access tv are being uploaded to YouTube by me his son Jim. Volume (episode) 48 was uploaded today; I have over 150 left to upload. I’m averaging 3 volumes per week. Each volume or episode was split into five 11 to 12-minute parts. There are no ads. The oldest episodes start about 1987/88 and are a bit blurry but subsequent episode get better. I think his videography/show ended around 2010 My dad is like a walking encyclopedia of full-size aircraft and r/c model aircraft. To view the episodes go to YouTube.com and do a search for Hansen Scale Aviation Videos (the name of the channel), and please click like if you like them, and make comments, and even subscribe (no cost). Enjoy! Cheers from across the pond (I live in England).
