Well, in regards to the Mercury Atlas being the constant bring-back winner, I received encouraging news from Initiator001 this week that Estes did another bring-back winner move in recently re-hiring Mr. Ron McClaren, the talented designer of the Estes Mercury Atlas, so looks like things are moving in the right direction for all of us Mercury Atlas fans out there!
Kind regards,
