You should really attend the next NEFAR launch.
http://www.nefar.net/
In the afternoons they allow the firing of "experimental rockets" and there are a lot of people there who know way more about KNO3 fuels etc then I do. I will try to make it to the next launch (whenever they get around to posting the date) since I have a few machined engines I would like to fire. Jimmy Yawn will probably be there too

There you are!, just yesterday I was wondering where you had been lately. Busy with school I imagine.
On an endless quest in search of a better way.
