Do you ever have the problem where you crunch a fin from a hard landing and you wish you could replace it right away so you can fly the rocket again? If you have access to a 3D printer, you can print some rails that will allow you to have replaceable fins. This article by Samer Najia shows you how to design your rocket so it can use this replaceable fin system. | | 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)!

The Long March CZ-1 rocket is a 1/34 scale rendition from Aggressor Aerospace of China's first orbital rocket. This is a very challenging, yet rewarding rocket that can be used whenever you really want to impress others at the flying field. Flies on a cluster of four 18mm diameter high-thrust rocket motors. Limited supply, so order quickly. |
| Attractive Rocket Posters | | 
You've seen these new posters as the background of our how-to-videos, and larger versions hanging on our walls when you've visited our shop in Colorado Springs. Now you can own a piece of history and capture the excitement of model rocketry. Each high quality poster is printed at 18 inches wide by 27 inches tall and is perfect for framing. Hang them in your build room, or have them adorn your office. They are great conversation starters to get other people interested in rocketry. Choose from these new posters: The X-15, Flying Machine, or the Zephyr. |

“I primarily purchase from Apogee because of its service. I really appreciate the fact that I can order from here during the week and have the item in hand within 48 hours. If I happen to order on a Friday it's here by the following Monday. Apogee carries a wide variety of aftermarket stuff that I can never seem to find anywhere else and that's important to me. I do a lot of scratch building. Furthermore, they carry those great obscure items such as large diameter clear body tubes just to name one. Ultimately it boils down to the service. The fact that I can buy a 29mm single-use motor and then watch a video on how to assemble it and then another on how to install the igniter, is a nice touch. I appreciate the Rocksim how-tos, and the other videos that provide tips and techniques that have been useful to me, as well as, the rocketry classes that I teach. Tim and the staff make this a personal experience and that's what keeps me coming back. I appreciate everything they have done for...” -- Steve Arthur | |

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 up to $350 for your time. | |

 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. | |
