Meet Waco CG-4A Hadrian
The CG-4A paired a high wing with a fabric-covered structure and a cargo cabin whose nose could swing upward for loading. It served Allied airborne operations during the Second World War, commonly towed by a C-47.
The Waco and its tug were a working pair, but their controls and propulsion are fundamentally different. The simulator glider has its own trim, tow-release and landing-gear-cradle controls. It therefore has a separate reference page even when supplied in a combined C-47 package.

The cargo glider has its own cockpit
The CG-4A guide identifies trim on all three axes, a tow-release lever and a separate landing-gear-cradle release. These controls belong to the unpowered glider, not to the C-47 supplied alongside it. The source is consequently attached to the Waco's own aircraft page.
