@saluteshell5 There was no oil in this motor at all. The reason it is black smoke motor is because it is fuel / binder rich. It is also a slow burning motor because when you have a fuel rich motor , there is less heat on the face of the grain.

What substance/fuel/mixture was used for propelant?

do you know how high it went? approx.

Sweet. Nice job.

the smoke is black because it contained a little oil in it to slow the burn and make it fly better and plus that is a mix of ammonuim perchlorate and a small amount of oil makes a black smoke glad you asked
