About this Plan

Mercury Musketeer. Control line sport model.

Direct submission to Outerzone.

Quote: "Hello Steve, Regarding my previous wanted request, I come to you to tell that my friend, the Musketeer owner's son, finally found the original plan which I am attaching here for use. Scale is not checked, but believing it is right though. Mind that the pics [model photo & more pics 003, 004] are about the one from the story below along with the original box made in England. Thanks for your time. Fabio"

Mercury Musketeer, Ron Prentice kit plan, 40in. The Mercury Musketeer by Ron Prentice, 40" C/L (with parts sheet, 3.5-5cc, 2 sheets) would be a great addition. I flew C/L from 1977 till 79 when I switched to R/C. In 2002 I restarted it and still remember well when the local club founder sported one in a beautiful and colourful finish at the circle back in 1978. It was shocking when another club member kicked its rudder, accidentally breaking it down during a demo gathering event, full of newcomers waiting to watch its maiden flight at the Club Piracicabano de Aeromodelismo-Brazil.

Notes

* Credit field

The Credit field in the Outerzone database is designed to recognise and credit the hard work done in scanning and digitally cleaning these vintage and old timer model aircraft plans to get them into a usable format. Currently, it is also used to credit people simply for uploading the plan to a forum on the internet. Which is not quite the same thing. This will change soon. Probably.

Scaling

This model plan (like all plans on Outerzone) is supposedly scaled correctly and supposedly will print out nicely at the right size. But that doesn't always happen. If you are about to start building a model plane using this free plan, you are strongly advised to check the scaling very, very carefully before cutting any balsa wood.
