[1][2][3] The O-2 was designed by Oldershaw to compete with Dick Johnson's Ross-Johnson RJ-5.
Oldershaw later sold the aircraft to Don Gaede of Torrance, California and it was reportedly still being actively flown in the 1980s.
Gaede remodeled the cockpit and introduced a new nose shape.
The O-2 was later donated to the US Southwest Soaring Museum, where it is on display.
