could you tell me what CATO is? i'm newbie here. it is some sort of explosion, or plug shooting out?

oh, what ratio did you choose for the test 50/50 ? and was this on one pound tooling?

Surely 90/10 will go up .

 

Cato means: catastrophe at take off, to the hpr guys, or your rocket blows up to us

I was using 70:30 SF:BP. Of course I was using a nonstandard mixture for SF, one involving sulfur and 1% RIO catalyst (for total mix, as in the 70:30 fuel was 1% RIO, not just the SF.) And yeah, 1 lb. tooling, except for a 6" tube instead of a 7.5". I doubt the grain was malformed or had cracks, and I doubt it was l not consolidated enough. Density was about 89-94% of theoretical, which is pretty good in my mind.
