What are the reaction products of flash powder made from ammonium nitrate

Might as well start a thread that actually pertains to rocketry :)
I'm curious on what others are using for airbrush rocket painting;
acrylic, lacquer, enamel etc.  Also would like to hear of
airbrush/compressor choice.

Someone want to explain what's so special about these?

indicator...

Available now is the TV Commercial for the Top Gear TV Show which is
airing this Sunday.
The Commercial shows the Rocket Car which was powered down a Ski Jump

Before I can upgrade to a rechargeable gel cell or a car battery, I'm
stuck with alkaline.
According to a data sheet I have, alkaline D cells have a capacity of
20.5 Ah, whereas alkaline lantern batteries have a capacity of 18.0 Ah.

I've been thinking lately about the problem of transmitting data from a
high powered rocket to a ground station.  Many people put cameras, GPS
recievers, altimeters, and other telemetry devices on their rockets and
in some applications it is useful to view this data in realtime.  A
