| C.M. Stordahl (Bud) McMinnville, OR | We have a TG-8 in the Spruce Goose Musuem in Mcminnville, Oregon. It has been converted back to a J3. We would like any pictures, articles, or whatever that anyone has on the original built trainers. 12/01/2004 @ 02:36 [ref: 8752] |
| George Manser , DE | I believe the best place to find any documentation would be with the US Army Air Corps Archives, and the at that era CAA as I recall the plaque in the aircraft stated it was presented by both organizations.
The repairs were accomplished by Rickcliffe M. Decker and Richard X. Karl both deceased. 09/08/2001 @ 20:01 [ref: 3142] |
| George Manser , DE | I found three listed at the FAA website 2 in Florida and 1 in North Carolina. At least one seems to be active.
I have to plead ignorance don't know how to ship photos. 09/08/2001 @ 19:55 [ref: 3141] |
| George Manser , DE | My Dad owned the firt TG-8 converted to a powered aircraft. The conversion was to a J-3 Cub. THe work was accomplished at Hadley Airport in South Plainfield, NJ.
Dad sold the aircraft to a buyer from Switzerland and the aircraft was shipped there. The aircraft had the N number of N 46490. This number is now on a Cessna in California. Have a photo of both versions both very old and faded, our plane had a commerative plaque above the magneto switch. 09/08/2001 @ 19:16 [ref: 3140] |
| ERoot , MO | I am curious about your known serial numbers and where this information was acquired.I am currently researching this aircraft and would be interested in any information or photographs available. 04/30/2000 @ 23:32 [ref: 141] |
| Robert Mudd Marion, OH | 1. Does a TG-8 glider still exist? If so where.
2. Where can I find original construction documentation of the changes made to the J-3 to convert it to the TG-8? I have asked the Piper Museum in Lock Haven, Pa. but they have no drawings. 04/20/2000 @ 22:31 [ref: 100] |
