| Customer Testimonials: “Long time rocketeer. Completed Level 1 right away, Started working on my Level 2 rocket, then life happened. New job worked weekends could never fly. 7 years later,new job with weekends off and ready to get my Level 2 going again. Not sure how to get more experience with dual deployment before I try. That is when I saw the promotion of the Katana Jr. This mid-power rocket is exactly what I needed to refresh my memory and build confidence in skills that I have not used in a while. Build is going well, taking my time, watching lots of great videos produced by Tim and his group of very knowledgeable staff. Apogee has everything you need. Prices are good to fair, but when you add all the videos and information that is available, the value is realized and is a great deal. Still learning RockSim, but see that this was worth every penny. Great job Apogee. Will always be a loyal customer.”

| 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. | |
