Hello to all of our Friends ~ this will be a quick note to bring you up-to-date about our progress with the rebuild project on the WACO CG-4A glider. Since our last message we have had a lot of exciting and positive events in the project. We are making Great progress with the construction of the glider. Even with the large amount of ‘get ready’ preparation – moving into the hangar provided by Consolidated Aircraft Coatings / Poly-Fiber, preparing the trundles for the wing spars (the inboard wing spars are 23’ (FEET !!) x 6” x 14” and weigh approx. 300#’s + - each !!), the carriage for the cockpit section and other preliminary items, we have completed a great deal of work on the glider itself.
