Please post them if you can.  I was so busy judging and flying that I did not get to take any pictures.  Besides, my "official photographer" (daughter Becky) had too much homework and could not attend.

Thanks!

The answer is probably obvious to everyone but me  y1 but what airplane design is this?

I built a Blue Pants as a kid. Wish I still had it. Might even learn to fly it.

It says Charmer on the wing. I'm not familiar with the design. Smoothie looking. Good flying.

   The blue and white airplane is called Charmer. It was built by Walt Brownell and I bought it from him several years ago. It started out as a Tom Dixon design called Charisma, and Walt said he made a few changes and called it Charmer. About 650 sq.in. powered by a Tom Lay ST.51, weighs about 65 ounces, I think. My son Sean was flying it here and at Paducah. It is a great flying airplane with lots of potential and could easily be morphed into a Spitfire.

Tom Dixon's list has a number of designs derived from his Charisma. There's a plenty of Spitfires in the world but not all that many Charmers  H^^

edit: a quick search found me only one Charisma photo. Is there more of the Charmer?
