This week we go over the H2O2 oxidized liquid engine developed by Benny Croonen and Jan Volckaert. We breakdown the major components, milestones and decision making process of this team through their multi-decade long project to develop a safe, cheap, and easy to construct liquid model rocket engine. The article features an in-depth look at their process to decompose hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), their fuel options and choices, safety systems, avionics sequencer and development process. Big thanks to Benny and Jan for sharing this project with us! | | Read the rest of this week's article, either on a downloadable PDF for printing out, or on our website (great for viewing on your phone)! Previous issues of our newsletter are found at our archive page. |

| Experimental Composite Propellant Cookbook | | 
Looking to make your own rocket motors? This guidebook is a great place to start. Experimental Composite Propellant by Professor Terry McCreary PhD. details the formulas, safety precautions, design, construction and testing of small rocket motors. This isn't for everyone. We recommend it for those people in countries where we can't ship rocket motors. |
| Dual Deployment Conversion Kit | | 
This special kit allows you to take a 4-inch diameter rocket and turn it into a dual-deployment rocket. Includes the tube, e-bay, sled for mounting your altimeter, nylon shock cord, and a 18-inch diameter nylon drogue parachute. Works great with the Apogee Zephyr! |
| AeroTech Arreauxbee-Hi | | 
The AeroTech Arreauxbee-Hi is a great initiation into larger mid-power rockets. It is a straightforward assembly, with a clean orange and metallic asthetic. The rocket can house a variety of rocket motors and flies with great stability. |
| 54mm Fly-Away Rail Guide | | 
The 54mm Fly-Away Rail Guide can be used to launch those 54mm diameter rockets that do not have a rail button or rail guide. The advantage of removing the rail buttons is that it reduces the drag of the rocket and allows it to soar higher. Package contains one set of rail guides that will fit on a 54mm (thick-wall tube) rocket. |

In the 9th grade, I was a rocket afficionado. I owned a dozen Estes sets, was in the Rocketry club at school, build my own launch pad and controller and so on. Soon girls caught my eye and rocket launches were scrubbed indefinitely. Fast forward to now and I have my own son in 9th grade and he expressed interest in a rocket. Well, the 14 year old in me now has a big boy budget! But I also am keen to find someone that SUPPORTS not just SELLS. Apogee Components is my go-to source for everything I need. The prices can sometimes be beat, but the service that accompanies their sales is unmatched. All my rocketry dollars are headed their way. — Brandon Neff | |

We're looking for someone to write a definitive guide to selecting igniters, controllers and batteries for rockets. We'd love to have a newsletter article on that topic, because we get lots of inquiries about it. Is that you? Do you know how many e-matches can be set off in a cluster by a 3.7v 400 mAh battery? See our Newsletter Guidelines on how to submit an article on this topic and get paid upto $350 for your time. | |

 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. | |
