The Pearson-Williams 1938 Mr. Smoothie race plane is a laser cut balsa wood kit for the serious flying competitor. This Golden Age Racer qualifies for Flying Aces Club Scale and Greve Racer competitions.

The 1938 National Air Race in Cleveland, Ohio was the site of the Thompson Trophy Race 300 lap/300 mile race. New aircraft entry, the 1938 Pearson-Williams PW-1 Mr. Smoothie was designed around the Curtiss D-12 Conqueror engine by Rodney Nimmo capable of 375 mph and built by Bud Pearson and Lee Williams. The well-streamlined aircraft featured retractable landing gear, a tightly cowled engine and radiator installation. Cooling air entered through a truncated conical propeller spinner swirled using propeller-rotated fan blades passed through the radiator, and then exhausted via ports on the side of the engine cowling.
