Need to replace a shock cord but don't know how to reattach it to the eyebolt down inside the rocket? In this video we will show you a trick that you can use to get a shock cord attached. All you'll need is a couple of wooden dowels, your new shock cord, a piece of string and a bit of tape. This is a bit of rocket surgery, but it isn't destructive. You can use this technique without fear of damaging your rocket. View this week's Rocketry Workshop Video (Duration: 9:21) | | Previous videos are found on our archive page. |

| Check out the latest products to hit Apogee's shelves! | Mini-Windlance Glider | | 
The Mini-Windlance is a competition style 13mm boost-glider rocket made for 1/2A through A-size engines. It's a simple design, intended to fly great and can be assembled quickly. At ejection, the pop-pod, which carries the engine, falls away from the glider to lessen the weight so the glider hangs in the air longer. This is a great entry level boost-glider type rocket. |
| The Laser LOC | | 
The Laser LOC from LOC Precision Rocketry is a new, minimum diameter 38mm rocket designed for pure altitude. It has high durability components, a fiberglassed fin can, thick wall tubes and through-the-wall fin installation. Combined, they make up a rocket capable of handling even the highest power 38mm engines. And with the minimum-drag airframe, you will get some serious altitude. It's like a laser beam across the sky! |
| NCR Vektra | | 
The Vektra from North Coast Rocketry is a concept of the future of air-to-air missiles. It stands 3ft tall, has 2 sets of 4 fins, laser-cut plywood components and is designed with high-power in mind. This kit is perfect for those individuals looking to fly on the high end of the 29mm rockets motors. The Vectra is designed for altitude, and it has the motor options to match. |
| NCR F-117 Nighthawk BG | | 
The North Coast Rocketry F-117 Boost Glider kit is for the daring modeler looking for a challenge. It is a Skill Level 5 kit because it is both a rocket and a glider. At motor ejection, the pop-pod is kicked rearward out of the glider, and the elevon snaps upward to get the model into a fast glide. The kit utilizes a combination of balsawood, plywood, vacuum formed plastic and 3D-Printed parts for construction. It flies on 24mm diameter composite propellant motors. You won't be stealthy on the rocket range for long when you show up with this glider. It attracts attention, like blowing a fog horn in a library. |
| Estes Mars-Mars Rocket | | 
The Estes' Destination Mars - Mars Longship flying model rocket kit, we call it the "Mars Mars" kit because they use the word twice in succession in the product name. The shape will remind you of the vessle from the movie 2001: A Space Odyessy with its spherical nose and long body with lots of cargo pods attached to it. It's a nice Skill Level 3 build, and flies on a wide variety of 24mm diameter motors. |

Whenever I called to make an order the people that answer the phones are helpful, engaged (looking at you Will) and take an interest. Will also took interest in the N1 moon rocket kit I had purchased and asked for pictures and feed back. It’s nice to deal with a company that cares about what they sell and their customers. I truly appreciate it. I will remain a loyal customer. - Mark Galewski | |

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 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. | |
