Title: gotta question ???
Post by: Bootlegger on August 17, 2009, 07:22:19 PM
        Paw-Paw is looking for a Delta Dart, I think that is the model that AMA used to suggest for beginner types, anyway, my Grandson is ready for us to build one.
  Thanks a lot,

SIG and AMA both have a similar device. One is the "Delta Dart", the other the "AMA Cub". Very similar, cheap, and great for kids first project. We had our Webeloes den do "Delta Darts". Ten year olds...some supervision, but not as much a G'pa would give to a Grandson. Pay attention to the instructions! They work. Avoid CA and epoxy.
My advise would be to get two, and build them side-by-side. One yours. This will keep you from messing with your Grandson's plane too much...  #^ Steve

Hi Gil,

I gotta do the same thing for Gabe, he's 4 now!  He has a C/L plane, just have to get him out with my oldest son to fly it.  The Dart would be great for his first *build*.
