We offer a selection of 18 different size and shapes of nose cones. Click on the button to the right for more information.

Transition sections are used to join the ends of two tubes that have different diameters. The balsa transtions make great boattails on the back end of your rocket. This makes the look sleak, and makes them more aerodynamic -- so they fly higher!

Our tubes have perfect dimensions - meaning nose cones fit without being tight or too loose. The white surface is smooth so you don't have to do a lot of prep prior to painting your model.

Rings allow a small tube to nested within a large one. Our rings have a perfect fit, allowing your rocket to be assembled faster and without any fuss.

Tube couplers allow you to join two tubes having the same diameter, thereby making a longer rocket. Our couplers fit just right, so your long tube is perfectly straight and ultra strong.

A launch lug is glued to the side of your rocket and keeps the rocket on the rod while it builds up speed. We have two sizes: one for small rockets that use engines smaller than a "D" motor, and one for larger rockets that use up to a "H" size engine.

Used to keep the nose cone attached to the bottom of the rocket. That way, you only have to retrieve one model instead of two or more pieces. This shock cord is stronger than steel, and doesn't burn.

Epoxy is a very strong adhesive. Our epoxy clay has the advantage that it doesn't run and make a mess. Perfect for making fin fillets that reduce drag and add strength to the fins.

When you have a tiny emergency repair and only need a itty-bitty amound of epoxy to fix your rocket, then here is the product you've been looking for!

Parachutes bring your rockets down slowest. But if your model flies really high, you might want to switch to a streamer to minimize the drift. We have a wide selection of both, so you can choose the best size for your rocket.

Streamers are used on rockets that fly high and would otherwise drift away if they used a parachute. The Apogee Aspire kit is a good example of a rocket that would use a streamer instead of a parachute.

Our metal engine hooks are made out of spring steel, not stainless steel. This makes them springy and prevents them from kinking when you bend them to insert the rocket engine.

Engine retainers hold rocket motors in the engine mount, preventing them from being kicked out backward at ejection. They are more professional looking thatn metal engine hooks, but cost a bit more. The work best on metal reload casings.

These are used to attach the rocket motor to a glider. When the motor burns out, the hooks release, allowing the glider to come down on its own. Our competition style hooks are light weight, and minimize drag.

Great for schools where all the students are required to use the same style fin on their rockets. Pre-cut balsa wood fins save you time and frustration.

More than just fin templates. Our unique cardboard sheets that allow you to customize the appearance of your rocket. Do you want to be different, or should your rocket look like everyone elses?

Helicopter models need rubber bands. They need to be replaced about every four flights just to be safe. Here is a supply of hard-to-find rubber bands, including the small orthodontic variety.

Add a bit of surface detail to your simple rockets, and it will jazz them up. It also makes them look like stringers used on real NASA rockets. Finally, it is a great way to hide the seam where two tubes are joined together.

These kits come with all of the parts to convert different size tubes to fit smaller diameter motors.

We have six different kits.

Having Apogee's quality parts to work with is only one piece of the puzzle in making a stunning rocket. Now you need techniques and skills for assembling them into an eye-popping models. Our video books can show you the procedures and methods the experts use when they build rockets. Don't you want your rockets to be the center of attention?

"I have to say that I've never gotten better service from anyone than Apogee Components! I've made several orders to you and the service has always been terrific. I have given my extra catalogs to my rocket flying friends and I hope they will use Apogee too. In a time where non-HPR supplies are limited and sources (good ones anyway) few, Apogee is a bright spot."
