Here is a very comprehensive set of plans to build a 1/8 scale Mercury Redstone. The original model flew quite well and all the technical info is in the plans set. These plans are over 10 years old and were once offered for sale in rocket magazine ads before the internet was really popular. The model can be built for less than $100 and makes a great display or flying model rocket. The plans could also be scaled down to build a smaller version. About 30 sets were sold. I never saw any photos or heard of anyone flying one other than the prototype so if you build one, please send some photos. We'll certainly post them on this site for others to enjoy. Some of the files are large so be patient when downloading them.
