| Check out the latest products to hit Apogee's shelves! | Estes Der Big Red Max | | 
The Der Big Red Max uses 29mm motors inside a 3" diameter airframe, making this the highest flying Der Red Max in the family. This kit contains all laser-cut balsa fins and cardstock centering rings, a (very unique) heavy-duty plastic parachute, thick-wall tube and an unrivaled sticker-type decal sheet and artistic scheme. If you are looking for a visually unique flyer, or a fan of the lore and legend around the Red Baron from WW1, then this rocket is an easy choice. It's a big der. |
| Aleda-R Boost/Glider | |  The Aleda-R is a popular and well-performing boost-glider from J&H Aerospace. The pop-pod is designed for 13mm rocket motors, and boosts this lightweight glider to incredible heights. This rocket can launch on 1/4A up to an A10-3 motor, and features a beautiful glide back to the ground.
|
| Fliplock Lite Glider | |  The Fliplock Lite from J&H Aerospace is a single pivot rocket glider that swings its wings into a glider position at motor ejection. What makes it unique is the single pivot point where both halves of the main wing function around. Upon release, these swing from a behind-the-back position to its full span in sync, making it one of the best looking swing wings of its size.
|
| Estes NASA SLS | |  This 1/200th scale model of NASA's Space Launch System (SLS) comes completely decorated, and nearly ready to fly! Just attach the parachute and slide in the clear plastic fins, and you're ready for launch. Begin the next journey to the moon with this fun and simple rocket.
You can take this kit from the box to the launch pad in just minutes! |

I have to admit I almost had a brain cramp recently. I was about to order motors from another company, and I started to think- I've ordered ALL my high power products from Apogee. With Apogee, the orders arrive on time and in excellent condition. Any time I've had to call, the people I talk with are professional and knowledgeable about whatever I'm calling about. I just finished watching your video on customer service. Excellent job! I intend on always ordering my rocket supplies from Apogee. Thanks for the great service! -- Chuck Garnes | |

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. | |
