[Not displaying correctly? View web version.] | Peak of Flight Newsletter #521: | After more than a decade, RockSim has once again hit the ground running, and further development is a big part of our 2020 goals. It’s an incredibly exciting time for RockSim as we have a new team leading the charge and a decade's worth of technological advancement to incorporate. In this issue we wanted to talk about some new features: what we did, why we did it, what it means for you as a user, and what it means for the future of RockSim. Also included in this issue: The Ragnarocket Rocket Plan! Download the pdf to get the plan, fin pattern sheets, decal art, 3D renderings for decal placement, and the complete parts list. | 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)! Previous issues of our newsletter are found at our archive page. |
Check out the latest products to hit Apogee's shelves! T-LOC | The T-LOC, another high quality rocket from LOC Precision, has a few features that really separate it from the pack. It's short and stubby, with a lot of drag in comparison to other rockets that utilize the same motors. These may not sound like "features", but they do offer some capabilities you might not see in other designs. |
LOC 2.2" Nike Zeus | This is the Nike Zeus. Modeled after a cold-war era rocket, this sport scale model rocket looks and feels like the rockets developed at that time. It doesn't quite stay true to the dimensions, but because of the quality of the design, it makes for the perfect addition to any scale collection. |
Semroc Stellar Arrow | The Stellar Arrow is a rocket kit from Semroc that is designed to look and feel like an arrow shot from a bow. The fins are pre-slotted, giving them an almost feather like quality and carry a lot of the weight of the design visually while the boatcone retainer and black band under the nose cone fill out some of the details. |

| I have ordered many times form Apogee Components now and the service I receive is second to none. I use the instructional videos online so often that I know that this company is the one that has the expertise and the logistics to get my project flying true and quickly! Rocksim is an amazing tool when doing any build, but especially if building from scratch! I can't wait to see where they will help our rockets go!! — Wyatt May | |
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. | |
