Mike Isermann's MO-I
A POPULAR COMPETITOR in the
Flying Aces Club’s (FAC’s) Golden Age
Military event, the MO-1, has the classic
lines of a natural flier. Mike Isermann built
his 23-inch-span version to a weight of 26
grams. The 7.5 x 9 propeller was carved
from a balsa block. The toughest part of the
project for Mike was fabricating the Lewis
gun.
