1:100 scale Mercury Redstone
Just got notice that Boyce Aerospace released a builders kit of the Mercury Redstone in 1:100 scale using a BT19 body tube.
Think will look good next to the Estes Saturn V |

And a 1/100 Merc-Atlas is coming soon. :cool: |
That is almost ‘cute’ looking.
I reeeeeally do think they would boost their sales considerably if they offered ‘full’ kits also, or at least stocked the raw tubes so one could do a ‘one stop shop’ for the kits AND tubes together. I know it ain’t really that big a deal, but then again, sometimes, it actually is. But, they are really expanding their offerings. Earl |
Boyce responded to my email.
Says that a Mercury Atlas will be released very soon. Then after that a Gemini Titan will be coming out next. |
If you buy the MR you also get $5 off the MA when it comes out.
The MR description lists the apogee as a whopping 65 ft. I would define that as sub-orbital. Like Alan Sheppard's flight. Maybe sub-sub-sub-sub-orbital. :D Laters. |
I can propel a rocket with a RUBBER BAND over 65ft.
|
90 g or 3.17 oz., which is heavier than your average Big Bertha and very close to the current Estes Mercury Redstone. 65 ft on an A10 may be optimistic!
|
I'm thinking 3.2 oz on an A10 is NOT safe at all even in my book.
