Multiplex PA-20 Pacer Built & Flight!

Let's look at this Multiplex Pacer!

Wing spann: 1150mm
Length: 870mm
Weight: 900grams

I fly mine with a 3s 2200mAh battery and Spektrum NX10.

also using blue loctite on the grub screws for the rudder/elevator connections at the horn helps. Wondering how this compares to the FunCub NG - that is my favorite plane right now.

I think the MPX battery connector is older than the XT-type. Before the XT connectors became popular, the MPX connectors were de-facto-standard in Germany and elsewhere also for many individually built planes or some from other manufacturers, and still are often today for connectors between wings and fuselage (which the MPX connector is ideal for because it has 4 contacts). At the end of the day it's a non-issue because there are adapters readily available.

Btw. IMO it's better if a plastic screw breaks upon a hard surface contact than when a metal screw tears apart the complete surroundings.

So basically get a battery adapter or different esc plus some rubber wheels and perhaps a better spinner (maybe a different prop aswell) and you've got an amazing compact rc plane

Quality review.
Look like a simple, lightweightc cheap airplane. What else do we need, I am almost sold.

I just finished assembling the floats. Only better weather now. Too bad I can't add a photo

Hello,

I am considering buying a Pacer from Multiplex, but I have a few questions:

How well can the Pacer taxi on tall grass? Up to what grass height or uneven terrain can it still roll and take off smoothly?

What is the estimated flight time with a 3S 2200mAh battery?

Do you think it would be possible to mount a digital FPV system weighing a maximum of 30 grams on the Pacer without causing weight-related issues?

Thanks in advance!

In resume, a part from the battery plug, nothing wrong.

Wow its an RR from Multiplex (not cheap) but they tend to be great flying machines, never did like the Multiplex horn connectors -easy to adjust but as you say you really do need to make sure they are Secured really well, I always put a drop of foamtac type glue over them so they cannot vibrate loose, Nice CG marker - I use ones like that and until you said I thought you had marked it, totally agree regarding Branding - but Multiplex have always done that, I have a Vulcan Sports jet I am unboxing from Motion RC and they provide stickers "Motion RC" "Freewing" - but as I am not paid to advertise for them, they are not going on, but unlike Multiplex at least I have a choice ... LOL.... don't like the foam spinner - my balsa wood traininger had plastic screws/bolts for the wings no issues at all, flying really well - in such a tight space - I remember when you lost a F4U on the flat roof of the sports hall... great review and flying demo -
