Epoxy and Magnesium fueled Rocket

This rocket used possibly the most expensive fuel i could have come up with, but i had the stuff lying around so had to do something. The fuel is a hybrid of an epoxy/kno3 fuel and a magnesium based fuel of my own design. The epoxy fuel was originally meant for standard epoxy, however i modified the mixture to suit 5 minute epoxy with a little ratio tweaking. There goes another ten bucks into the twilight...

KNO3 - 62%

@Fireworksguy11

tbh i dont know what that comment was in response to but im guessin it was somebody saying he lives in Florida or somthin along those lines, i think you misunderstood and thought i was saying that he lives in Florida, im pretty sure (but not 100% since it was a year ago when i posted that.) i was trying to say he doesnt live in Florida, but for all i know you could be totally right in responding to that, but judging by the 5 thumbs up im guessing it was a reply.

@wiiwouldntliketoplay who says he lives in Florida?

@wiiwouldntliketoplay ....a really big snow machine came into play

Very nice rocket, i never saw this film (i think) but exotic propellants are my agenda at the moment, so this type will of course go into my notebook for what i will try.

Happy new year B, hope you had a great celebration
