Model Forum / General / Rockets / August 2008Black Powder Rockets
Would someone take the time to explain to me what the poundage designation means for black powder rockets, ie 4oz, 1 lb, 3lb, etc... Thanks for your kind help. Black powder rocket measurements in oz/pounds is how firework type rocket motors are measured, if I'm not mistaken. You might try the question on "rec.pyrotechnics" newsgroup. > Would someone take the time to explain to me what the poundage designation > means for black powder rockets, ie 4oz, 1 lb, 3lb, etc...

Fred have You ever seen a black powder motor with 6 lbs of black powder? >>>> Black powder rocket measurements in oz/pounds is how firework type >>>> rocket motors are measured, if I'm not mistaken.

I was just assuming, as BP has never been my gig. The thought of doing the manufacturing process, scares the s*&t out of me. >>>>> Black powder rocket measurements in oz/pounds is how firework type >>>>> rocket motors are measured, if I'm not mistaken.
