Let me see if I have this straight. The foundation will rebuild and fly a TG-s???

Is there an unconverted TG-6 somewhere or are you pulling our legs?

Are there any other members of the tribe who are flying TG-6 conversions?

Re: TG-6 Glider (ST-100) & "Glomb" (LBT-1)

Don't know about a TG-s but Dick Huish is indeed re building a TG-6 training glider to fly , only one other exists at the PIMA Air museum and one other member could build one, he has the stuff. Yes quite a few TG-6 glider were converted back to L-2's ; they were built under the TC , they have ser#'s above 6000 . WE need contributions for Dicks project......

The T6 Glider or the Glomb would be a fascinating project.

Re: TG-6 Glider (ST-100) & "Glomb" (LBT-1)

right here in Ohio ; Dick Huish has been bringing stuff to the fly-ins for several years. The whole thing can be purchased at a very fair price. We have tried many times to stir up interest, there is another ST-100 just outside of Alliance that the owner is putting back together as a powered ship. I am here TUES. , WED> Thurs afternoons at 2D1 , E-MAIL ME DIRECT AT [email protected] bye Forrest

Happy New Year. There is a glider / trainer hanging from the rafters in the Nicholas - Beazley Air Museum located in Marshall Mo. They pulled it out from someone's basement and restored it according to the serial number,
