Hello all.
I need help to located some articles and drawings to build an Aeronca TG-5/LNR-1.
There were several very well written articles about glider pilot training in US during WWII,published in an US mass market aviation history magazine such as "Air Classics", "Wings", ???.
In these article were a good many photographs and drawings of the steel tubing nose sections added on to the Aeronca O-58/L-3 to make the TG-5/LNR-1.
My guess is that these magazines were published sometime about 1979-1992.
My copies seem to have been the object of a massive cleaning mission of "she who must be obeyed", as none of my many year subscription copies are to be found!!!

Also any other drawing/kit resources any where in the world are exactly the stuff of dreams..
I do have the excellent Aeronca factory O-58 drawing collection, but the TG-5 is not documented therein.
Note that I am primarily a Flying scale modeler who also builds static diorama models.
Thank you in advance.
matthew
