Hey everyone.. I picked up a new plane today! Found a guy online that was selling a little what looks like a pylon racing plane, I got the plane for 50 bucks the servo leads were messed up so im just gonna pick up 3 new servos tomorrow, and it should be GREAT after that, I have my receiver in it and my transmitter set up, so all I need is my new servos! I attatched some pictures so I wanna know if anyone out there knows the make of this plane? and the model of it, I also wanna know if it was a tail dragger or a trike set up, the guy said he removed the landing gear as he liked to hand launch it, but I dont feel good hand launching a nitro plane, so hey yall let me know what you think and maybe you can help me out!

ALSO let me know if you know what size engine is on it... I know its an OS but im not sure what size

Looks like an Ace Pacer. If I remember the 1/2A version had no landing gear. Looks to me like you have an OS .10 on the one you have but I can't see enough of it to be sure.

thanks man im pretty sure you nailed it hope I can hand launch it then.. haha It didn't look like there was landing gear on this plane, everytings smooth and i couldn't see where it would go... i just dont like the idea of landing the plane on its belly.. especially a balsa glow powered plane especially where the exhaust isn't flush with the bottom of the plane... do you think i COULD add some small landing gear on it?

also can anyone tell me what the CG of the plane is.. i dont want to hand launch the pacer and it nose dive because of a forward CG.. or stall because of a rear cg

The last one I saw fly was over 20 years ago and was powered by a TD.051. The engine was upright so no real issues hand-launching or landing. Can't tell you where the CG is, it wasn't my plane. Why not try just a little forward of the high point of the wing airfoil or right on it. Good luck with it. The one I saw was a fine flyer.

No, the one with the TD 051 was likely a Mach None. The pacer was larger.

I concede the Mach None, but wasn't there a Pacer and a Super Pacer? The Super Pacer being a .25?

Don't concede...You're right...There was a pacer and a super pacer. The Pacer and Mach None were both .049 size and the dedsgns were nearly identical. I have both kits in stock.
