I flew in competition with Don Gerber up to 1976. He never flew a profile MO-1. The designs he and Charlie Reeves published were limited to Class 1 and Class 2 and optimized for the "old rules" scoring. I believe during this time he flew the MO-Bipe in Profile, which had no relation to the MO-1 other than that the wings were sheet balsa.
I suspect the first MO-1 Profile to be published was the design by Mike Hazen, from the April, 1979, Model Aviation.

The "Gerber MO-1" Class 1 was published in American Aircraft Modeler in 1969, so it is eligible. The Class 2 version of the same plane, with a 36" span, was not published (as far as I know) but the plans were widely circulated about the same time, and the airplane was competing in the Nats and other places, so I would think that is clearly also qualified for Nostalgia. Sorry about the Profile.

Gee Paul, once again your positive outlook on life and our hobby enlightens us all,,,,,
is this why locally here, classic is won by Tucker specials, Larks, Shark 35, Cobra?

Well according to the people I spoke to regarding Nostalgia, ( I was looking at trying out the event, looking for a suitable airframe and setup so that I could fly normal profile and nostalgia) the intent of nostalgia was to give people the oppurtunity to fly carrier models that are of older technology. the bonus is for carrier MODELS that were designed prior to the cutoff, NOT High powered fighters that were designed before the cutoff. So your statemtent regarding that is false based upon the information I was given, oh and the rules?
this kind of stuff is one of the reasons I have decided not to exert my time, precious as it is to me, in this event. I cant seem to get coherant answers, so making a decision on what direction to take became to frustrating. Paul, I should not have posted that comment in all likely hood, but I continue to see your responses in numerous threads take a decidedly negative vent and this hobby to me is about positive fun,, so it frustrates me to see someone participate in a "fun" thing and constantly be looking for the downside, I deal with that every day at work,, sorry, I wont comment on your opinions any more,,

Well,
because I get tired of bantering. This hobby is my vent for the frustration of dealing with negative , overprotective, people at work. I dont want to bring that here with me. I gather good information ( most of the time) from the forums. I get tired of reading certain peoples conspiracy, negative garbage and sometimes I cant resist, but mostly I just want a happy world with smiles on everybodies faces....
OH and by the way, my closing comment about not posting to his attitude anymore was more a sarcastic commentary than something I intend to actually follow, I have run across his "stuff" to much,, so,, I probably cant resist,, besides, Im a stunt guy, so its expected of me right?

I'm curious.  Where are the Nostalgia Carrier Rules?

I checked the NCS site.  Not there today.

Is the cutoff date Dec 31, 1975? 
That would make sense, since it was the date of the rules change that ended Carrier was we knew it.

Darn Paul,
I was gone for the weekend, and you snuck in again with your always appreciated derogatory comments,, man I hate it when I miss out,, and to think I was only enjoying the flying at a contest dominated in classic by,, oh wait,, there was only one nobler and it didnt win classic,, hmm Paul maybe you should think about that,,
