Title: Gerber MO-1
Post by: bill bischoff on November 05, 2011, 04:25:34 PM

We all know and love the Gerber/ Reeves Class I MO-1 as published in American Aircraft Modeler. The article shows pictures of a Class II version as well. Was there ever a set of plans for the Cl. II version available, and if so, how can I get a copy?

Bill, I think I have a set that was sent to my in the 70's by Mr. Gerber himself.  As I remember it was a whole lot smaller than what we see today. I'll check and let you know.

If it was ever published, Tom Wilke would probably know.  I've never seen anything
of one besides that one photo in the original article.

Bill,
Check with Bill Calkins, he flew a .60 version at the NATS one year in nostagia, it was larger than the published one and he said it was the larger one shown in the article.

Bill, I checked the cabinet today for the Class 2 Gerber set of plans. I have the Class 1, no problem. The folder for the Class 2 has this note inside.  "Loaned to Bill Tucker".  Bill has been in a home with advanced dementia for the past few months and all his stuff is gone via sales, etc.  So, I can't give youi a set of plans. Sorry!

Joe, thanks for looking. Bill Calkins put me in contact with Charlie Reeves. Charlie has plans, and hopefully he will hook me up.
