Default Mercury Engineering Co.

Their website is down. Have they gone out of business?

Mercury Engineering was bought by Balsa Machining Service or BMS.

The 3" School rocket is very close to one of the older Mercury Eng. design, The Invader.
BMS carries the 3" diameter tubes and nose cones.

Hopefully BMS will add some of Mercury’s other designs to their catalog - they had some nice looking rockets using various combinations of cluster motors, 24mm and 29mm motors. I liked my 3” School Rocket so much that there’s another waiting to be built 😎

Saw on a post at TRF that their website is back up again.
