Our goal is to highlight the outstanding effort and the high quality of the workmanship accomplished by the homebuilders. Every year, Les Faucheurs de Marguerites du Québec present a contest similar to, but at a much smaller scale, EAA's Sun'n Fun in Lakeland or Airventure in Oshkosh. The Lucien Beaulieu Plans Built winner Award and as many as 12 Daisy Medals are presented to the winners in as many categories.

This contest starts early on Saturday morning and ends at 12:00 pm on Sunday. Winners are announced by mid afternoon on Sunday during a special presentation of the Medals. Pictures are taken for publication in magazines to honour them even more. Winners that have left before the presentation will receive their prize by mail. As soon as you get to the event, go and register yourself and your aircraft under the yellow tent. It is free and you can only win attention by doing it.

Professional Construction : All aircrafts designed or built by a professional builder or a company.

To participate :
All you have to do is come with your aircraft and register under the yellow tent at no cost.

Registration is allowed from 8 :00 am to 16 :00 pm on Saturday and from 8 :00 am to 12 :00 pm on Sunday. We will do our best to judge your airplane within 2 hours after your registration. Contest winners will be disclosed before 15 :00 pm on Sunday afternoon.

Judging methodology :
A team of 7 volunteers will judge the registered aircrafts during the event. They report to a Judge in Chief. Two judges will be appointed to each aircraft entered in the contest and the sum of the points will be entered in the summary table.

Note : Judges are not allowed to open any airplane compartment without your authorisation. If you are around when they are judging your plane you can ease their work by opening the cowling and cabin doors to show them the firewall forward mechanics and the interior of the cabin.

Evaluation criterias :
  • General appearance : 30 points
  • Workmanship : 40 points
  • Maintenance status : 30 points

Our judges
Our judges are experienced builders and/or professional aircraft mechanics. A judge in chief manages and coordinates the team during the event. A training is given to the team to make sure they all understand the rules as they are described in our official paper.

All the judges are specificaly identified during the event so aircraft owners clearly identify them when they are close to the aircrafts. The judges are not allowed to open any aircraft compartment or doors and/or touch any sensible aircraft elements.

Each registered aircraft will be visited by at least two judges. Judges are assigned at random. All recreational aircraft associations are welcome to be part of the team.
