To the RC tanking community,
it is my sad duty to pass along the news that a pioneer in our little hobby has died.
Henry Mergner was a good guy, and he probably owned more 16th scale tanks than any three of us. He was part of the group of tankers that started coming in 2003-04 to the indoor battlefield at the AAF Tank Museum in Danville. He was also one of the original members of the ACE tank club.
We will miss his enthusiasm for the hobby of RC tanking.
Let's think of a way to pay tribute to him at the upcoming September 2-4 battles.
Below is a note from his family.
