Well, the judges usually judge a line of planes that are on display.
 Call this  category "Presentation".  The criteria will be how well the
installation is explained throught placards, tags, or even a seperate
stand with a poster or notebook.  Extra points given for engineering
data, sources of inspiration or further explanation, explanations of
construction techniques, etc.  Basically, get past "Is the paint
pretty", and onto "How cool is this plane".  To often in "experimental"
aviation, the knowledge gained through an experiment is locked up and
forgotten.  Why not make our hobby more like the scientific community
where the reward only comes when the information is shared.
