Mixed a batch the other day that used calcium carbonate and ammonium chloride. Nice and slow, with good color to boot. We’re trying to come up with a workable d-grain and moon-burner. Serious sustainer action!Peter

For dual deploy, I would go with a Rocket Rage RRQS15 as a main. It’s rated for 15lbs, so it’ll come in soft, but that’s my preference for dual. For single, a 54″-72″ parachute would be great (it’ll float quite…   Read more»

Im gong to throw this out , but there there are alsocalculation on this issue. It also depends if your doing duel deploy or motor ejection. For 7 pounds i would say a 6′ parachute is good. Saying this becasue…   Read more»
