Do you get confused by the difference between sport models, and sport scale models? Our new graphics designer Ryan Coleman is brand new to rocketry, and he had the same issue. So he is going to tell you what he discovered, and how he uses it to create the awesome graphics for our new kits. Also in this Issue: Rear Eject Fatman Plan Perry Olson has come up with a fun plan that looks like a bomb. It is short, fat, a drag reducing boattail, plus those unique box-tail fins. And the parachute pops out the rear instead of out the front of the tube. You'll generate a lot of excitement when you fly this rocket at your next launch. | | 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)!

| 3" Diameter Rocket
Fin Alignment Guides | |  We have two new fin alignment jigs available. They both will fit over the 74mm (3-inch diameter) thin-wall body tubes. They are both made from laser-cut cardboard, and are perfect for getting your fins spaced evenly, and that they are perfectly straight along the tube. The big benefit is that they hold ALL the fins while the glue dries, so you save time during assembly. We have both a 3-fin and a 4-fin alignment guides. If you already have our other sets, you'll need these to add to your collection so you're ready to build any size rocket.

 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. | |
