Chapter House
If you or anyone you know would be interested in using the space, e-mail Tim Lewis. Rent is only $260 per month or $10.00 per day. The daily rate is great for catching up on those little maintenance items you've been meaning to take care of but didn't have a place to work. Use the workspace for one or as many days as you need. The workspace has an air compressor, vacuums, a drill press that's okay in a pinch, a metal lathe, a bending brake, a sturdy workbench and vise, another nice workbench and half a pool table for spreading things out, and some peg-board for hanging things up. Priority is normally given to the following uses for the workspace in order of appearance below: Rent is only $260 per month NOTICE!If you will need a place to work on your plane within the next year or so, get on the waiting list right now by e-mailing Tim Lewis, or phone (703) 250-3182.

Contact chapter house manager Tim Lewis for details of any planned activities. History In December of 1998, EAA Chapter 186 had the opportunity to purchase space at the Manassas airport and did so. The chapter house operations are an ongoing experiment. The chapter house is laid out in two parts. One part is an insulated two-airplane hangar with a work area that can be heated or cooled. The other part is a more finished multi-use area that can be quickly adapted as need requires to serve as a meeting space, social hall, or classroom. The chapter house boasts cooking and bathroom facilities, as well as a well-equipped, heatable workshop. These facilities are open to all chapter members. Current uses include aircraft construction, flight testing operations, educational and social events. Most Saturday mornings are a combined social event and work party with fresh coffee and doughnuts. Your chapter leadership is open to suggestions about how to use the chapter house more effectively and of course, you are invited to come out and "tour" the facility. |
