CHARLES O’DONNELL sent in this
report and pictures about a planned Indoor
meet in Oregon.
By the time you read this, the event will
have passed, but it is something to watch
for next year.
Thank you, Charles.
“The Willamette Modelers Club
(WMC) of Oregon has run four Indoor
Free Flight meets so far this season and
has just one more on the schedule. It takes
place on April 22-23 at the South Albany
High School in Albany, Oregon, and
includes a seminar on indoor flying on
Saturday evening.
“The event was on the Contest Calendar
in MA, so those interested knew that it was
coming up. There were 15 contestants at
the club’s previous event, and we hope for
that many in April, including several highschool
kids who come from Vancouver,
Washington, to fly Science Olympiad
models.
“I have included some pictures I took at
one of the meets while trying out some
new camera gear.”
Bob Stalick of Albany, Oregon, is preparing
his Bostonian for an official flight. Bob’s the
WMC newsletter editor and club
treasurer—for the last 40 years!
Tom Stalick of Longview, Washington, is
working on his entry for the Bostonian
event.
The Altig family comes to the Indoor meets
so Rebekah can fly Schience Olympiad.
Father Mike helps and mom Merilee (L)
looks on.
Andy Tagliafico (L) of Portland, Oregon,
and John Lenderman from Clatskanie,
Oregon, confer over Andy’s new biplane
Science Olympiad model.
Until next time.
