My goal with this rocket is eventually to compete it in hamster dance at Balls next year. I have had 3 attempts at this so far. The first one immediately burned through as the propellant is basically an I1299 but a bit longer. I don't have a liner because that would be too much mass (definitely one of the choices you can make). The second one, I remade the first one and static fired it, and it also immediately burned through.
My third attempt I bonded the grain faces together to not have flames touching the casing, and that appears to have allowed the motor to work. Some pics of that flight here (https://www.rocketryforum.com/threa...se-i1400-rocket-launched-last-weekend.183053/). Last weekend, the nosecone was stumbled upon not attached to the rest of the rocket and that tells me it didn't work.
Video of the most recent flight, it moved pretty quick (Listen with sound on)
