Apogee Rocketry Workshop #286: How to Secure a Battery in an E-bay
We occasionally get the question on how to secure a battery in a rocket's e-bay compartment. There are probably a dozen different ways that this can be done, depending on what type of battery your trying to restrain. This video shows you a couple of my favorite methods of holding them down.

Semroc USS Andromeda

The Semroc USS Andromeda is a reproduction kit based on the classic model rocket released by Estes in 1975. This updated version features heavy-walled tubes for more durability, and laser-cut fins for ease of assembly. MORE ON ORDER!

Simple Timer for Staging

The Apogee
SimpleTimer for Staging has been designed for timing applications in model rocketry. Its intended use is to start the sustainer motor of a two-stage rocket. It allows you to perform spectacular flights that excite any crowd at the launch range.

To assure launch safety, its built-in logic prevents ignition of the upper stage if the rocket goes unstable or is tilted more than 45° from vertical at the time of ignition of the upper stage. This prevents the upper stage from flying on an unsafe trajectory. It is perfect for high-power rockets!

Semroc Taurus

The Semroc Taurus is an updated version of the classic Centuri kit that first appeared in 1972. It was advertised as an Alien Planetary Cruiser. It has all the classic components of a throw-back rocket kit, like a four balsa wood nose cones, two balsa transtion sections, a lot of tubes, water-slide decals, and a lot of body tubes. If you paint it up in the Taurian Admiralty's fleet colors, this is an attractive model that will gather a lot of attention at your next launch.

“What I like most about Apogee is the confidence they inspire in a rocket modeler. I am confident in the quality of products offered by Apogee and they stand behind these products. I am confident in my purchase as it arrives quickly, well-packaged and includes great communication about what I ordered and what to do if I see a problem with my order. Apogee inspires confidence through the wealth of solid advice and information available on their website that helps rocket modelers make good, informed and safe choices and decisions. Apogee is an integral partner with each of my rocket launches and I have had a lot of successful launches following their advice and using the products they represent. I appreciate doing business with an organization of this caliber. Thank you, and keep up the great work!”

I need help with generating the bi-weekly 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.
