Building AMA Delta Dart with kids
My wife is teaching art with elementary school kids this year. It is a private school with very advanced kids. She was looking for something different to do with them and I suggested building Delta Darts. Has anyone around here done this before? How old were the kids? Suggestions?

RE: Building AMA Delta Dart with kids
During our TAG event we had boys and girls ranging from 6 to 15. Suprisingly the little ones did almost better than the big ones. With two instuctors we were able to build 12 planes in 35-40 min using a razor blade, glue sticks, and CA. The instructors helped the little ones with the CA. Otherwise the kids built the planes themselves.
After the building we took them out to the field where one of the planes went well over 300'.
My own children have built several also, just be patient and follow the instructions carefully.
