I have a fond memory of my Grandpa George seeing the Waco Glider I built him. He was one of those guys that didn't want to talk about his service in WWII. I wasn't sure how he would take it when I was asked to build the plane by another family member(heck I didn't even know he was a pilot and had flow P-51's and gliders during the war). His eyes at the moment I unveiled my gift told how much the little plane meant to him. When ever we dropped by the plane was always displayed in a prominent location in a cabinet or on the coffee table. I was even asked to repair it twice. He died several years later so I'm glad I took the chance and built it for him.
