In this weeks Advanced Construction Video, we outline the essential tools needed to build Skill Level 3 rocket kits, which is an average level of challenge and complexity that most modelers will be able to build successfully. We encourage mastering these skills so you can build even more challenging and rewarding model rocket projects! This video picks up from our last one, which talked about the basic tools you'll need for making a Skill Level 2 rocket. When talking about tools for Skill Level 3, we'll obviously need the ones previously discussed. | | View this week's Rocketry Workshop Videos here.

| Check out the latest products to hit Apogee's shelves! | Nike Hercules Rocket Kit | |
The first production run of 100 kits is NOW ready! This 1/10th scale replica of the Nike Hercules missile is the most enjoyable kit you'll ever build. It challenges you, but the payoff is extraordinary in how well it performs and the excitement it brings to any launch. It is the most accurate and detailed version of the missile, and it actually operates as a 2-stage rocket. Plus, there will be a limited-time offering of a $50 incentive in Apogee store-credits if you get it flow by June 1, 2025. We don't want this sitting in a collector's build pile. It needs to be flown! |
| RS-Pro v4.2.0 Upgrade | |
There is a new free upgrade for RS-PRO software users. This version now has allows for simplified flight events. You'll notice that they look and function just like the ones in the normal version of RockSim. The "advanced" flight events are still there (we didn't take them away), in case you want to do crazy things like deploying parachutes on the way up before motor burnout. The next time you start RS-PRO, you will be prompted to download the upgrade. |

| 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. Imagine how great you'll feel knowing that you made a difference to the hobby. If you're interested in writing, see the guidelines on our site. | |
