This is the Dr. Zooch Rockets Mercury
Redstone flying model rocket kit. It is a model
that represents the rocket that sent the first
American, into space! But this kit is much
more than that- it is designed to give the
builder a choice of building it to represent
ANY of the Mercury Redstone flights- MR-
1A, MR-2, MRBD (Yes you get all you need
for the obscure, but historically critical MRBD
flight), MR-3 (Freedom 7) or MR-4 (Liberty
Bell 7). This kit contains NO plastic parts and
is designed to be flown with the escape tower
on- like it’s supposed to fly- not with the tower
off like a squirming hatch-blower would fly it.
This is an average skill level kit- but the
escape tower is a complex build and will
require patience and direction following.
The kit is based on a T-60 tube and, when fully
constructed stands 23.5 inches tall with a 4.15
inch fin-span and has a basic empty weight of
3.2 ounces. It is single stage and uses a
standard 18mm motor, such as a B6-4. This is
an average skill level kit, meaning that most
modelers can build and fly it successfully. All
of the primary parts are either wood or paper.
So buy it, build it and make spaceflight history
come alive!
