Formal Dedication Of The New Homebuilders Hangout To Take Place
Monday Afternoon
It's a special breed of aviator who
flies an aircraft they've built themselves, and at this year's
AirVenture, they'll have a place to gather and share their tips of
the trade. The new Homebuilders Hangar is debuting at EAA
AirVenture 2010 on Monday, July 26th at 1630.
Aviation legend Burt Rutan (right) headlines the lineup of
daily "Homebuilts In Review" sessions that feature aircraft
homebuilders or designers presenting information next to their
aircraft and answering questions from the audience. Rutan will
speak about the design and development of the Long EZ at 1430 on
Friday, July 30. Additional informational presentations also will
take place throughout the week.
The Homebuilders Hangar will serve as the multi-purpose hub
for the homebuilt aircraft community at AirVenture. The building is
located just north of Aces Cafe on the AirVenture grounds in the
former NASA pavilion.
A new display at Homebuilders Hangar will recognize and honor
all past Homebuilt Grand Champions, 114 of whom represent the peak
of homebuilt innovation and craftsmanship dating back to EAA's
first convention in 1953. This year's Homebuilt Aircraft Awards
Presentation will be held at Homebuilders Hangar at 6 p.m. on
Saturday, July 31.
Homebuilders Hangar also will serve as a social gathering spot
for homebuilders, where they can get information as well as meet
EAA staff and EAA Homebuilt Aircraft Council members. Homebuilders
can showcase their aircraft projects on the "What We're Building"
board, giving homebuilders a chance to connect with other builders
and get questions answered, or post an advertisement and survey the
"For Sale" board that will feature homebuilt projects, aircraft,
parts, and components.
