Initially developed in the early thirties, by the famous designer, with its own engine, the company failed and was bought by another well known individual who bought the rights from the designer and formed a new company with him to produce it.

The designer was working for them when he conceived this and later bought the right off them when they failed!

Built with several engine types, this variant had a not so well known 90 hp radial engine

Mooney was the designer when he worked for the Lambert Aircraft company, he bought the rights from them when Lambert failed and formed the Dart Aircraft company with K.K Culver and it was renamed the Culver Aircraft Company in 1939. Later Mooney formed his own company that outlasted them all as we know!

The Dart GW?
That's near enough mate My variant was the Culver Dart GK with a Ken-Royce engine



Noyade has control
