Activity Name: Model Shop – Village Flying Club –  Village Yacht Club

Point of Contact:  Dick Hoover  (See Resident Directory for contact information)

Mission:    The Model Shop is available to all West residents.  While the Shop is dedicated to model building, there is space available for craft projects and small item repairs.  There are lots of hand-tools and some powered equipment. 
The shop was established more than 25-years-ago by model aircraft builders and is currently home to the Village Flying Club and Village Yacht Club, both established in 2005.  Details about each club are posted in the Shop.  Because of high-value items the shop is accessible by day-use key available at the Front Desk.

A visit to the Shop will introduced you to craftsmen building radio-controlled planes and boats.  We even have a few “experts” who will help you with your model, crafts or repair project.  See Dick Hoover, the shop custodian.  There are no presidents, officers or Kingfish…just fun-loving guys (generic).

Fees:  Your Shop is supported by ACC “Activities” funds, so there are no dues or fees.
