I never got around to buying a kit until recently and was disappointed to find out the Estes Mercury Redstone is out of production. A quick look around on the web brought me to the Dr. Zooch page with their Mercury Redstone kits. The BT50 based Redstone kit is smaller than I wanted but their BT50 is about the same size as the Estes kit so I decided to give it a try. It’s a “Skill Level 5″ kit and I’m at about Level 2, so it should be fun but challenging.
