In the video, we'll demonstrate how to attach the fins to an ultra-light competition rocket made of carbon fiber and epoxy. The process begins by creating a custom fin alignment jig and using balsa wood fins laminated with aluminum to make them shiny. One the fins are in the jig, we'll use super glue to tack them in place. Then we'll apply liquid epoxy to reinforce the fins, ensuring they remain lightweight and durable.

| RB-02 Locator Beeper | |
Are you tired of searching for your model rockets after launch? Do you struggle to find where they've landed? Look no further than the Rocket Beeper 2 (RB-02) from Lucid Technologies. It is the latest innovation in model rocketry for finding rockets that land in tall grass or brush. The RB-02 is a compact, lightweight acoustic locator designed specifically for use with model rockets. This device emits a loud, piercing beeping sound that can be heard from a distance, guiding you to the location where your rocket has landed. The beeper has a built-in oscillator that produces a series of beeps; a half a second on, then a half a second off. This cycling sequence is easier for the human ear to locate than a constant shrill tone. It fits into a BT-55 size tube, and is actually lighter weight that smaller beepers. If you're tired of losing rockets, get one today! |

| | Customer Testimonials: “I primarily purchase from Apogee because of its service. I really appreciate the fact that I can order from here during the week and have the item in hand within 48 hours. If I happen to order on a Friday it's here by the following Monday. Apogee carries a wide variety of aftermarket stuff that I can never seem to find anywhere else and that's important to me. I do a lot of scratch building. Furthermore, they carry those great obscure items such as large diameter clear body tubes just to name one. Ultimately it boils down to the service. The fact that I can buy a 29mm single-use motor and then watch a video on how to assemble it and then another on how to install the igniter, is a nice touch. I appreciate the Rocksim how-tos, and the other videos that provide tips and techniques that have been useful to me, as well as, the rocketry classes that I teach. Tim and the staff make this a personal experience and that's what keeps me coming back.”

| I'm now actively seeking writers for articles to appear in this newsletter. And I want unique and cutting-edge articles because that is what you want to read, right? I realize this, so to get articles from outside writers that have the same level of quality, I'm going to have to pay a lot of cash to make it worth it for them. So I've come up with a compensation package where I'll pay up to $350 for good how-to articles. Are you a writer, and does that interest you? That is a lot of cash! Far more than you'll get by writing for other magazines. And with over 23,000 worldwide subscribers, if you write for the Peak-of-Flight Newsletter, you'll gain a lot of notoriety. Writing for the Peak-of-Flight Newsletter is a great way to show off your rocketry projects and your technical expertise, at the same time as helping out other rocketeers.
