The holidays are approaching and it is high time that you thought about that rocketry gift you truly deserve and never seem to get year after year. ROCKETS Magazine can help you out during this holiday season. Why burden yourself shopping at the mall when ROCKETS Magazine is just a few clicks of the mouse away.

The flying season might be wrapping up but that opens the door to reflect on the past year and prepare for the season to come.

As the official publication for the Tripoli Rocketry Association, ROCKETS Magazine stands alone bringing the reader the most up to date launch coverage from all over the country. ROCKETS Magazine displays the passion and the perseverance that drives high power rocketry in every issue with timely and relevant technical articles and high quality photographs. Back Issues of ROCKETS Magazine are now available from now till December 31, 2008 for $3.50 per issue. Catch up on the issues that you haven't seen and collect the entire catalog.

ROCKETS Magazine doesn't stop there. If you like what you see in the magazine check out the fast paced, adrenalin-pumping videos that accompany each issue. ROCKETS Magazine has a current inventory of thirteen rocking and rolling videos of the launches we have attended. They include the action at Red Glare II, Fire in the Sky 2007, ARG-4, TARC 2007, NERRF II, Florida Winter Nationals 2007, Mid-West Power 4, Red Glare I, MDRA Year in Rear View 2006, Balls 15, LDRS 25, Mile High Mayhem 2006, ARG 3, Springfest 2006, Florida Winter Nationals 2006, NERRF 1, Whitakers 2005, NY Power 10 and LDRS 23.

This is a great chance to relive the action only a ROCKETS Magazine Video can capture and help warm up those cold winter nights with the earth shaking flames of some of the biggest projects to fly in the past two years.

Are you looking for high-resolution digital photos of your rocket or your team? They make great stocking stuffers. ROCKETS Magazine has over 60,000 digital photos on file from all of the launches we attended. These photos are now available from now till December 31, 2008 for $3.00 each. Take this limited opportunity treat yourself and your team to a memory that will last a lifetime.

For a limited time, from now till December 31, 2008, ROCKETS Magazine will hold off on the price increase that has already taken affect with the manufacturer and the other vendors. This is the last chance to get these high quality kits and components at this reduced price. You know you want one, get it now.

Digitizing magazines into can cost about $10 per page. Maybe my firm is a LITTLE larger than Liberty but here's a piece we did & the firm who does it for us: http://www.nxtbook.com/ygsreprints/ygs/BIMProject1/ I know this is a niche hobby & we're not talking about a huge subscription base. But a lot of the content is, I believe, provided gratis by 'amateur' photographers & writers...and there are indeed ads, too. It's a great pub, but it's always been a little steep for me...and being in the magazine biz, the lack of a subscription-term sliding rate scale always bothered me. I'd commit to 2 years @ maybe $4 each.

Here, here!! I'd subscribe if there was a discounted rate for TRA members. I would also pick the extended subscription option if it were even more discounted. Charging the full cover price for a magazine subscription, no matter how small the base is, is ridiculous. The fact that TRA chose this option as the "official" magazine makes it that much more ridiculous. In my opinion of course! One addition to the list would be a more robust shopping cart system for their web site. I thought I might buy some back issues but when the system tried to charge $2.00 for shipping on every single issue I declined to complete the order. Ever hear of Media Mail?? A huge quantity of magazines can be shipped for a few bucks anywhere in the country.
