Thanks for the notes George.
Actually right after I posted this message I went and cleared up the pic in
Photoshop and reposted them. I use a good ol' fashions SLR camera and take
my film to my local Camera store where I can get them put on a CD-ROM. Form
there I crop and ususallt post right away, but the Dart pics were too bright
so I hit them with the contrast thingy.
As for folding wings, I don't remember exactly, but I think some one thought
of that Idea back before WW1. I'll have to look it up.
