| | | If you're making your own 40mm dia. fiberglass tubes for FAI competitions, this is the nose cone you want. Its total weight, including the shoulder is 1.0 grams. Plus it has a low-drag parabolic shape. |
| | | You can make your own e-matches that can be used for dual deployment and motor ignition. Fires with only 0.5 volts of electricity so they'll work with all onboard electronics and controllers. They come pre-soldered, with 3-foot long wires, so all you have to do is dip them in pyrogen. It does not require hazmat shipping, so you'll save a ton of money! Available in a 6-pack, 80-pack, and a complete 80-pack kit that also includes the dipping pyrogen mix. |
| | | 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 fifth sticker in the collection features the Slow-Mo rocket kit. The Slo-Mo was designed for those wanting a rocket that takes off a bit slower than average. You may feel that someone needs to get out and push to get this rocket into the sky. It features laser-cut tubes, plywood fins, and a plastic nose cone. How many times have your friends said they like watching rockets that have those sloooooow realistic lift-offs? You know... like watching those old videos of the Saturn V launching towards the moon? We've heard those same comments too. Because of that, we created an easy-to-build kit that takes off a bit slower than a normal rocket. And it looks like a rocket, not a flying saucer model that you'd expect to take off slow. When your friends see this rocket, they aren't going to be expecting it to rise so slowly into the sky. So it will be more impressive because it still looks like a model rocket. The thrill of launch is more intense with this model because it has such a majestic lift-off. The sound is louder, and the smoke is thicker because the rocket stays closer to the ground. This is a vinyl sticker that has a background which 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 3-inches wide by 5-inches tall. |

| “Just had to pass along how rock solid Apogee sold stuff is! My “Level 2” sat in a tree for a month and come down today. Couldn’t tell and it’s ready to fly! My Torrent won’t give up. Shoved a J354 into it today and it’s simply rock solid! Had to pass on the video beca use I thought the landing is priceless! Also launched my Apogee Saturn 1B on it’s maiden voyage after building it 12 years ago and never getting to launch. Took the forward section forever to come down and we found the capsule was gone. We all laughed we placed it on the moon! Later someone walked up upon it and return it. Grissom decided to come back! Anyway, can always count on Apogee products!” -- Kevin Cobb | |
Marketing Manager - Do you know rockets? We mean, really know them well? And do you know how to connect with people and get them excited about rocketry? This is a tough position to fill, because marketing demands a person that fits our culture of serving customers. And it requires a person that can come up with a lot of strategies and ideas on how to grow a business. Technical writing ability is essential too, as you'd have to produce innovative weekly newsletters and videos for our great customers. If you think this could be you and you want to get into the rocketry industry, contact Tim through our contact form on our web site. | |

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. | |
