The WACO G-series represented the company's venture into custom cabin biplanes during the final years of the biplane era. While no specific model designated "WACG" was produced, the G-series variants including the EGC-7, DGC-7, and ZGC-7 first appeared in 1937. These were high-wing biplanes powered by Wright R-760 or Jacobs radial engines, accommodating 3-4 passengers in enclosed cabins. With approximately 77 examples built across all G-variants, they were manufactured by the Waco Aircraft Company of Troy, Ohio. AviatorDB tracks 678 Waco aircraft currently registered in the FAA database. The ICAO type designator for this aircraft model is WACG.
