Sugar/Potassium Nitrate rockets
I think the rocket is a bit more complex than that, as i have built
Sugar rockets and i am pretty sure we were never going to be able to
launch any type of heavy payload like that anywhere near the range that
the kassam rockets have. but i did see something about them using
fertilizer, sugar diesel fuel and something else. i will ask some arab
firends of mine there probably is a arabic website with instructions on
how to make them.

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.
