Gere Sport

[1] Only the lower wing had ailerons and only they were mounted with a moderate upward angle (dihedral); a typical arrangement.

The conventional landing gear was rigid and relied on large balloon tires to absorb impacts.

[1] The 19-year-old Gere was killed in a January 1931 accident with an ice sled; he slipped and fell into the propeller arc.

[2] Plans appeared the following year in the 1933 Flying Manual, copies of which remain available through the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA), based in Oshkosh, Wisconsin.

[1] An example of a Gere Sport is held in the collections and is on display at the Museum of Transport and Technology in New Zealand.
