Default Sugar/Potassium Nitrate rockets

Google is your friend. I have used this and other amatures (not this
group) have too. It can be inconsitant and its ISP downright stinks.
But its fun and cheap providing you learn your chemistry and safty
*first*.

I read that the Kassam rockets are fueled by a combination of sugar and

Anyone know how good a fuel it is? ISP numbers?

How does it compare to other solid fuels?

Have amateur rocket builders used this fuel in the past?

Seems like a cheap way to make a solid rocket.
