You'll have this Skill Level 1 model put together in less than 20 minutes. So many features are packed into this rocket, that you need to check it out! - MORE ON ORDER |
| Estes Variety Bulk Packs of Motors | |
If you're a teacher or group leader flying dozens of rockets, you probably want bulk packs of motors. Estes has released variety packs, so you get more than one type of motor in the 24-pack of motors. We now have the A8, B6, C6 package as well as the B6-0/B6-6 combination which is great for two-stage rocket flights. Both bulk packs contain the starters and recovery wadding, so it is a great way to save money. |
| Estes Saturn V Skylab | |
The 41.25-inch tall Estes Saturn V Skylab is a 1:100 scale reproduction of the historic rocket and its space station payload. Vacuum formed tube wraps and fin fairings add a textured realism to this model’s surface. Injection molded fins are both durable and detailed – a fin alignment guide is included for precise placement. The detailed water-slide decals accurately represent the markings of this historic mission. Flies on 29mm diameter rocket motors. |
| Andromeda Cluster Rocket | |
Imported from Germany, this Klima rocket kit called the Andromeda uses a cluster of four 18mm diameter engines to launch it skward. It also has a unique mid-body separation design to reduce the chance of zippered body tubes, plus an ejection baffle to protect the parachute. It makes a nice rocket if you want to try out clustering. |

"Although I have been building/painting scale models for 40 years now, I have only recently re-discovered the fun and excitement of model rocketry. The last model rocket I built was back in the early 80's. Both the Apogee website & your instructional videos have been instrumental in guiding me along as I have made my return to the world of model rocketry! Thank you so much for both your guidance & encouragement! I am currently working on a design of my own using the parts I've recently purchased from Apogee and will send along a pic once the project is complete. Thank you again Tim for the amazing customer service, the encouragement to build, your willingness to share your knowledge via your videos, and for the personal notes I've received via email from you! You & Apogee have gained a customer-for-life here in Arkansas!" -- Joshua Swift | |

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. | |
