| | Customer Testimonials: “First off I have never been disappointed with Apogee Components. The staff is very professional and either answers your questions directly or gets the answer quickly. I like the array of kits made available through Apogee. I especially like the supporting documentation for the kits and suggestions for the kits as well. Sometimes I may find something cheaper from another vendor but the support from Apogee usually makes up for any price difference. Another plus with Apogee is the wide array of rocket components available through Apogee Components. In short, I have many good experiences with Apogee and expect to have many more in the future.”

| 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. | |
