I saw Andrew Manilla's RV-8. What a gorgeous aircraft! Andrew's craftsmanship and attention to detail were evident in the outcome. Congrats Andrew.
 
N732TS

Tom Savrda was my campsite next-door neighbor. What a beautiful airplane. I've never seen a cleaner engine compartment!
 
Here's one picture anyway, this is Tom Sarvrda's airplane, one of the RV-7 Bronze Lindy winners from Vero Beach, Florida. Tom's airplane won Grand Champion at SnF this year as well. Well done, buddy!

EAA has pictures of the Silver and Gold Lindy winners in all categories, and should post them. They've also got pictures of all the homebuilt award winners, but I don't know what their plans are, if any, for posting them.
 
Numbers ?

I believe a scoring system was used for all planes judged. Anyone know if these numbers are posted or available somewhere to see the scores for the various items the judges looked at for all planes judged ??
