Greetings
I have a friend that ask me to ask around if anybody knows where one might be able to either get parts or have parts made for a WACO Glider Project.
As always Thanks in advance to all that respond .

Waco CG-4 restorations have been at these museums:
http://amcmuseum.org/
http://www.airzoo.org/page.php?menu_id=109
http://www.soaringmuseum.org/
http://www.asomf.org/
http://www.nationalmuseum.af.mil/factsh ... asp?id=504
http://www.silentwingsmuseum.com/info.htm
http://www.thefightingfalcon.org/
The last one maybe the most promising as they are in the restoration process and click on the museum gallery (147 pics!)
Good luck, folks need to see how many of our veterans entered combat on wooden wings!
