A lot of people are worried that I'm going to kill myself with my project I'm trying to get funded. I got a lot of backlash for it. I understand you're worried.
I have never worked with APCP before. All I've heard is that it can be dangerous if handled wrongly. What I have worked with is Kno3. I have built experimental rockets fueled by sugar before. I do know APCP is more efficient and all around better. My project is trying to reach 100k with an 8" motor, so think in forms of serious altitude. What I want to know is how much better is APCP than Sugar. If it's not that much of a difference then I'll go with sugar.
I do know the basics of composite propellent. [deleted by mods: formulas] I've seen how to carefully mix it in orderly fashion, but I'm not a pro on it.
Can a sugar engine of that size get me to 100k? This is a 15'x10" rocket that I'm building. And please don't go lecturing again on how this is going to kill me. I've gotten plenty of that. Just inform me on what would be the better choice. And tell me what the best way of mixing apcp would be.
Thanks
