Lots of sun and some funky wind to keep things interesting.

 Awsome, wish I was there! That P-63 photo is classic, you can almost see the castor oozing out of the balsa! :##

 Great stuff Elwyn!

Looks like a Starlight stunter by Charles Mackay?

It looks like a plane that was listed to Windy.  I don't remember the day but it was listed as a "Big Job"   H^^

Sure looks like a Starlight to me - the thin airfoil and eliptical wing gives it away

The first plane is a Starlight. Windy's Big Job is inverted in the last photo.

I think you would have to shorten the nose a bit on the Starlight if you use a silencer, to save that lead added to the tailwheel!  ;D

I built a Starlight in 1998  - great flyer but way too light.
It's take-apart.
