Mercury 'Crusader'  Laser-cut Part Set

Note: This set is not a complete kit. A plan is not included, and additional materials are required to complete the model.

These parts are for the classic Mercury Models Crusader control-line model, designed by Bill Morley and one of our best-selling part kits.

The drawing we used was by Tony Johnson, dated November 2019. Some changes were made to this later drawing to improve the construction, notably the sheet trailing edge up to the Aileron strip wood intersection. If building against the original kit plan, you can easily retrofit this trailing-edge sheet option to your design.
