Aircraft > Single-Engine Piston > Culver > N31696: Culver Dart GC
This fully restored Culver Dart has been in the same family for 3 generations. It has a 1 time STC for the Lycoming O-320 and the cowlings. The Dart is a phenomenally good looking little airplane in an indescribable sort of way and, fortunately, it flies the way it looks! The airplane is fully stressed for aerobatics and has been used many times for that. The firm of Applegate & Weyant acquired the design rights and put it back in production in 1946 at a new Dart Aircraft Corporation located first in Quincy, Mich., and then in Elkhart, Ind. The new "Dart" plant turned out 14 GC models, still under ATC-674, which continued the original serial numbering but were assembled at the Meyers Aircraft plant in Tecumseh, Mich.
