Bill's grand daughter confirmed that Bill passed away unexpectedly.
He was a real nice guy, kit manufacturer and an avid builder/flyer.
He'll be missed.

Sad news indeed. He was a good guy.

So sorry to hear.  I have built 3 of Bill's Enterprise-Pro kits.  They are great flapless, profile models.  I first met him at Huntersville and visited with him there on several occasions.  At the contest last October, he assisted me when I flew my first ever full PA pattern.  He seemed really proud that my first PA patterns were flown with his kitted model.  This is a great loss and I send my heartfelt condolences to the family.
