In our Peak of Flight Newsletter article this week, Curtis Lee addressed the question of why the A10 and A8 motors do not have an average thrust of 10 or 8 newton seconds. We got a number of compliments on it, so if you didn't get a chance to read it yet, I highly suggest you take a look!

We've also been prepping for the Level-2 rocket kit re-release on March 28th, building parts to get ready to assemble them next week. You can add your email to the "Back-in-Stock" notification list. There is a limited number of this all-fiberglass kit that will be available initially, so we suggest that you're on this list if you want one.

We were hoping to get launch photos tomorrow at the club launch, but a surprise snow storm today may delay that. Spring in Colorado is a bit crazy - we hit 68F degrees on Wednesday, and today is 24F degrees and snow!

Releasing next week are special Ejection Capsules for dual-deployment. What makes them special? They include a Firewire igniter in the canister, so you do not need to provide your own! Check out our New Products page on Tuesday or see the blurb in your email.

Tool of the Month: A Pocket Scale

For the month of March, we're offering a super deal on an indispensible tool for all rocketeers. Introducing our small digital scale. With a maximum capacity of 200 grams, this scale can weigh even the smallest of objects with precision of 0.01 grams. The large digital LCD screen provides clear and easy-to-read measurements without having to put on your reading glasses. It has a blue back-lit panel that can be turned on and off for use in bright sunlight or at those rare night launches.

This compact and lightweight scale is designed to provide accurate measurements for a variety of small objects, making it an essential addition to any hobbyist's toolkit. And it is small enough to fit in your rangebox or back pocket for on-the-go measurements. It is perfect for weighing out black powder for dual-deployment ejection charges. And if you have RockSim, it will allow you to perform accurate simulations because you'll know the mass of every component.

To get ths scale for free (it's a $15.95 value), just purchase $150 worth of Apogee's merchandise. This offer is only available until March 31, 2023, so don't miss your chance to save on a valuable tool. Act fast, as this offer will not be repeated!

What to Look Forward to Next Week?

On March 21st, we have a secondary Advanced Construction Video about assembling a multi-piece fin, which is the next step after our last video on how to design a multi-piece fin.

These videos were prompted by a number of kits that we sell that use this technique, namely the Katana Jr. It's a little unusual, so we wanted to explain why you would use this in a kit, and how you can approach the task itself.

I'll see you in your email in-box next Tuesday.
