| Check out the latest products to hit Apogee's shelves! | | | Here is another foam protector for the launching of raw eggs to prevent them from cracking. This custom-molded soft-foam nest snugly nestles the egg and provides superior protection. Fits the 2.2" diameter tubes (BT-70 size and 54mm). This is our "Short version" that saves space and weight in the rocket. | | |
| | | The Galactic Wave from Sunward Aerospace is a unique kit with a ton of neat and challenging features. A big thing you'll notice is the fins and pods on the kit are all attached to the tube fin, which serves as the primary building base. The long, main body almost acts as an extension from this sturdy lower construction instead of being the main body tube. Note that this rocket needs a high-thrust motor like a D21 to get it up to flight speed. | | |
| | | This success pack of parts is a great way to get your designs "off the ground". It contains the most commonly requested components to build TARC Style rockets, including the transition section that is a requirement for this year's Team America Rocketry Challenge (TARC) event. We have two versions of the Success Packs: one based around the 2.2" diameter (BT-70) body tube, and the other for the 2.6" diameter (BT-80) tube. There are no in structions included (you know the TARC rules, you have to design it yourself...), but there are enough parts to assemble two rockets. Now you can test different configurations to create your winning rocket! Save money, save time, and prevent frustration because you forgot something important. Let Apogee be your TARC success supplier. | | |
| | | North Coast Rocketry just released their long-awaited North Hawk, a radio control boost glider kit, designed to fly on B and C engines. We only have the bare bones info up on our web site so if you want one, you can order it online now. Apogee cannot assist with any technical questions at this time. The rocket's price is $49.99, which does not include any transmitter or receiver/servos (which are required to fly). We'll put up more details of the rocket kit when we have a chance to build and test fly the kit. | | |
| | | FINAL WEEK!
The fourth sticker in the collection features the EggStorminator rocket kit. This kit was created in 2015 and was designed for the NAR's Fragile Precision Payload contest. The contest goal is to launch an egg to 300m altitude, and return it to the ground in exactly 60 seconds. This egglofter gives maximum protection to the egg with molded foam protectors. Great for teachers and rocketry mentors. This is a vinyl sticker that has a background that makes it look like a cloth patch. But since it is a sticker, you can attach it easily to anything smooth, like your range-box, or your cabinet in your workshop. The sticker is approximately 1.8-inches wide by 3.8-inches tall.
After Oct 31st, we will switch to the next sticker in the series, so order now! | | |

Make sure to use the hashtag #Rocketober so we can find them! Check out the full photo list! Photos range along anything involving rockets - your stash, kids, cool paint jobs, and more! There is no prize from Apogee Components for this, just the satisfaction and joy of sharing your hobby with your friends. Who knows… maybe they’ll catch the rocketry bug too, and join you in the challenge! | |
| “After a long hiatus, I returned to rocketry in August, 2015. It has been a terrific, fun filled year, and Apogee has been with me all the way. I am currently making the jump to reloadable motors. I experienced a problem on the range and called Apogee for advice. I spoke with Sara. She was friendly, patient and took the time to understand my problem. I received the guidance I needed. Apogee Components is more than a dealer. They are a group of experienced flyers who will stay with you on the journey. Many thanks, Apogee!" -- Bill Boublitz | |
I need help with generating the biweekly newsletter articles since it takes a lot of effort to put them together. And I'm willing to pay big bucks for your help. So ask yourself, are you looking to earn some extra money? 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. | |
