Říká se, že Irwin G. Ohlsson byl Henry Ford letecko-modelářských motorů. V roce 1934 postavil své dva první miniaturní motorky. Oba o zdvihovém objemu .12 kubických palců, jeden poháněl malý kabinový model a druhý model dvouplošníku. Jeho otec, profesor na losangeleské střední škole, zemřel velice záhy, aniž by se dočkal synových úspěchů.
