LaunchMaster Ignition Controller for Model Rockets Apogee Components 2022-11-10 | apogeerockets.com/Launch-Accessories/Launch-Controllers/LaunchMaster-Launch-ControllerIf you are looking for a more robust launch controller once you have graduated from A/B/C powered rockets, the NCR LaunchMaster™ should be your choice. It is bigger than the traditional starter-set launch controller, and it uses batteries with larger electrical capacity so you can launch lots of rockets in succession without having to worry about having enough power.The LaunchMaster Launch Controller is designed to be a durable device that can electrically ignite your model rocket motors from 1/4A up to a G power. It is simple and intuitive to use, in a manner that is similar to the smaller Estes launch controllers – you simply insert the safety key, listen for the buzzer that indicates continuity, and push the launch button at T-0. This is heavy duty and sized for mid-power rockets.
DarkstarJr Rocket Kit Apogee Components 2022-11-10 | apogeerockets.com/Model-Rocket-Kits/Skill-Level-4-Model-Rocket-Kits/Wildman-Darkstar-JrThis video is a short introduction to the model rocket kit called the Darkstar Jr. It is constructed entirely of fiberglass, so it is strong and durable. It is a builder's kit though, since it doesn't come with assembly instructions. Although, at the Apogee website, we do have links to YouTube videos that will assist you in putting this together if you've never built a fiberglass rocket before.

How to Replace a Through-The-Wall Fin - Part 2 of 2 Apogee Components 2022-10-04 | http://www.ApogeeRockets.com - Busting a fin in half is bad enough, but if it was made from plywood and also had a through-the-wall fin tab, that is so much worse. These are very hard to repair, because the portion of the broken fin that is inside the tube has to be removed as well, so that a new fin be re-attached. Most of the time, people just scrap the entire rocket as being beyond repair. But say the rocket had some sentimenal value to you, and you wanted to reuse as much of the original parts as possible. What do you do?In this two-part video, we'll take a rocket that has a busted plywood fin, and show the necessary steps in removing the through-the-wall tab. In the second part of the video, you'll see how to reattach a new fin, and fix all the cosmetic damage that will be necessary. This is the second part of the process, and it shows how to repair the structural parts of the rocket where strength is needed.

How to Keep Model Rocket Parachutes from Tangling After Launch Apogee Components 2022-08-23 | http://www.ApogeeRockets.com - Parachute lines don't usually get tangled while you're building the rocket or prepping it for flight. They get tangled after the flight is over, once it lands on the ground. From that point onward, right up until you're ready to prep the rocket for its next flight, is when the shroud lines get all tangled up.In this video, I'll show you some simple steps (there is a pun in that phrase, but you have to watch the video to figure it out) that will help you prevent the lines from getting tangled. You'll have to show these simple steps to your recovery crew, because they are typically the cause of the lines turning into a giant knot.

How to Fix a Kinked Body Tube on a Model Rocket - Part 2 of 2 Apogee Components 2022-08-09 | http://www.ApogeeRockets.com - A kinked body tube is always the result of a hard landing. If the parachute doesn't fully deploy or if it is undersize, the rocket will come down with a landing speed high enough that there is going to be damage. Normally, it is a fin that breaks, but sometimes if the landing is right on the bottom of the tube, the landing forces are transmitted through the airframe itself. The kink can be anywhere along the tube, but normally it occurs just above the fins.This video series shows three different methods of repairing a kink, so you have different options depending on your comfort level in performing rocket surgery. Because of the length of the video, we've broken it up into two parts. This is part 2 of 2.

Two Methods of Folding A Parachute for a Model Rocket Apogee Components 2022-07-12 | http://www.ApogeeRockets.com - Customers sometimes ask about the best way to fold a plastic parachute. The answer is that it depends on the weight of your rocket, the parachute size, and how durable you think it is.In this video, I'll show you two methods that I use when prepping my own rockets for flight. One way will allow the parachute to open really fast, but it puts a bit of extra stress on the shroud line attachment points. I use this technique for lightweight rockets, or if I know the parachute is a bit stronger and more durable. The other way of prepping the parachute allows it to unfurl a little bit slower, which gives the rocket time to reduce speed so that there is less of a snap on the suspension lines. I use it for heavier rockets, or when I'm concerned that the parachute might not be as strong as I'd like.Do you have a different method? Let us know in the video comments.
