Park Shoot #1 - Small Experimental Greenmix Rocket #1

Date: 2003-07-25

Description

Similar to the very first greenmix proof of concept rocket. Al foil nozzle, but bulkhead was just paper wadding. Same fuel but from new batch, using up the last of the old food-grade KN03 I purchased many years ago.

Fuse was twisted paper with greenmix trace.

Comments

The fuse was really horrible, burnt unreliabably and very slowly, but did eventually ignite the device.

The motor cato'ed, blowing out the nozzle and most of the grain with it. There was a significant amount of unburnt grain still in case.
