Thinking about the double "M" ProtoSShot test, I think the summer heat actually may have helped the static test be successful. I mean, the heat may have softened the sugar propellant making it less brittle and thus less prone to fracturing...like adding syrup to the propellant (flex-fuel) and lowering the chance of a CATO.
...and I really do like the smell of Black Powder.
Great video Dan, you're welcome to come out and do more if you like (free me up with some of the video/pics but I do live here in the Mojave so go easy on my backyard!!!

Rick, why don't you guys add corn syrup? Does it lower the ISP?

Hi,
Put some Johnson's Baby Shampoo on you shroudlines so then you won't get "no more tangles!"

I wish I would have gone. I still have the map to the test site sitting here on my desk. I had all my wisdom teeth pulled so I didn't feel so great.
Well maybe next time.
