Piper Pacer by Bill Perry
Joe Woods submitted this photo of a Piper Pacer which was totally rebuilt by Bill Perry, a fellow club member in the Lauderdale Airpark RC Model Club in central Texas. Bill, a former professional model builder for the Boeing Co. Wind Tunnel Model Shop, started the rebuild from a wreck that heavily damaged the landing gear and lower fuselage of the Pacer. Originally a 3- channel conversion of an old Sterling single-channel kit of the Piper Tri- Pacer, Bill upgraded the model by adding ailerons, going from rubber band to bolt-on wing attachment and other refinements. The Pacer is powered by a Fox ball-bearing .25 turning a 10–4 prop and Bill plans to install a Futaba radio. It is covered in a plastic film and Bill made his own graphics.
PHOTO: JOE WOODS Fiat CR-32 by Bill Bradley
Here is Bill Bradley’s version of the Fiat CR-32, circa 1934. The model is all balsa with some light ply. A large plastic cowl, upper wing tank, and exhaust manifolds simplify construction. The model is covered in Polyspan and painted with satin latex. The wheel pants are built up. Manzano now has a short kit available at

PHOTO: BILL BRADLEY
Power comes from a .10 Rimfire using a 30A ESC, and a Rhino 1750 3S Li-Po. Prop is a Master Airscrew 9–5. Four HXT900 servos drive the rudder, elevator and ailerons. The maiden flight was conducted with gusty wind, but the 22 oz biplane was solid in the air, and landing was uneventful.
