Ball milled black powder is the best for these rockets. Be sure and follow our project instructions closely. If you don't already have one, you can get a ball mill from Skylighter. You can also order lead balls for milling your black powder rocket fuel.
You can fly your black powder rockets day or night, with or without a heading. Flying Fish fuse and Falling Leaves fuse make a great, light-weight heading.
These same devices are also used to drive wheels, spinners, and girandolas.
