The 2nd day of the Cumberland Summer Soar for Fun offered a full day of amazing flying conditions and was the perfect time for Tom to maiden his new one-of-a-kind scratch built Big Beautiful Bird.
Everyone witness to the event wanted to know what the sailplane was...what is it called???
So... seems appropriate to have a contest!
What name do you think it should have???
Well...go or no-go time!!!
