Hi Duane, A few pictures of my DART series. I don't think you ever saw my "Foam Dart". I did a lot of early work with cutting Expanded White Bead Foam. The airplane in the pictures that looks like a yellow finish is actually natural balsa wood with clear dope finish. They were Beautiful airplanes, they showed all the wood grain and quality workmanship to keep all joints and connecting pieces tightly matched together. These "Foam Darts" were built on White Bead Foam that were cut with a hot wire method. I was one of the pioneers in cutting and covering foam, This was in 1964 and i won a first place at the Toledo Conference for "New Engineering Technique". I have too many stories. SORRY ...Col.
