The Douglas County R/C Flyers acquired access to Kingery Ranch in Yoncalla, Oregon in May 2018 to develop a flying site. The area provided a great overfly space and level ground for a runway, however, a problem was found with the soil conditions. When the clay like soil dried out, it left large cracks in the surface and was capable of consuming the landing gear of any size aircraft. 
In September 2018, the Douglas County R/C Flyers received an AMA flying site grant of $610.43. With the combination of the grant, member donations and club funds, the club was able to form a work party and install a geotextile fabric runway. The completed runway is 47 feet wide and 420 feet long.
