This is part 2 of our article on the stuff you'll need for a successful dual deployment rocket. Dual deployment is used in high power rocketry for one reason: to get the rocket to land as close to the pad as possible. We don’t want to walk very far to retrieve our rockets. How it is done, and what you will need to accomplish is the subject of this article. We’ll walk you through the process of launching your very first dual-deployment rocket, so that you’ll feel confident that you can do it yourself. And more importantly, we'll give you a checklist of items you'll need to be successful with your first dual-deployment rocket. | | 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)!

| RB-02 Locator Beeper | |
Are you tired of searching for your model rockets after launch? Do you struggle to find where they've landed? Look no further than the Rocket Beeper 2 (RB-02) from Lucid Technologies. It is the latest innovation in model rocketry for finding rockets that land in tall grass or brush. The RB-02 is a compact, lightweight acoustic locator designed specifically for use with model rockets. This device emits a loud, piercing beeping sound that can be heard from a distance, guiding you to the location where your rocket has landed. The beeper has a built-in oscillator that produces a series of beeps; a half a second on, then a half a second off. This cycling sequence is easier for the human ear to locate than a constant shrill tone. It fits into a BT-55 size tube, and is actually lighter weight that smaller beepers. If you're tired of losing rockets, get one today! |

| | Customer Testimonials: “I have been building my own rockets for several years and have had some issues with recovery systems. I purchased some Kevlar thread and cord and am very pleased with the results. This was my first purchase with Apogee and am very pleased with the selection of products and the customer service and support, not to mention the videos are quite informative. I will be ordering again and highly recommend them. Thanks guys.”

| 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. | |
