We have one at Pima too. We also have one of the Helton Larks. The last of the failed attempts to make a civil plane out of the design after the war.

Culvers were also used during the feasibility phase of the FICON (IIRC), and the wing-tip attachment concept and mechanism, was tested using at least one Culver.
