This propellant is specifically designed for Steve La Duke's Universal Spindle rocket geometry. Essentially it is a core-burner with a shorter and somewhat fatter core (about 4-5 IDs and 6/10 ID respectively). It is nozzled with clay and then charged first with increments of this propellant, then topped off with 6:3:1 BP.
The number of increments of Hybrid before switching to a BP variants controls the power of the rocket. Steve says the rocket will explode if more than 7 increments of Hybrid as used, your mileage may vary.
