Scientific Mercury
Hi All,
Just returned from the Vintage R/C Society reunion at Endicott NY. We had a great time there.
While there, I acquired an very old kit. A "Scientific Mercury" with 72 inch WS. The contents of the kit box are complete , including the old wooden hubbed wheels which are still in very good condition. Wood is very good as well. The only part not good is the kit box. It looks a little ragged. I guess this spoils the value as a collector item, so I plan to build the kit.
Does anyone have any info about the history of this model? I would like to know as much as possible about the plane, the designer, & the kit company.
Thanks,
Bob G
