Nice Red David! Years ago I purchased some Strontium Carb from one of the pottery outlets. I made some 2 grain 38mm test motors and got more of a orange/red color. Gave up on it at that point. Where did you get your carbs?

Thanks for stopping by, Johnnie. Do you dry out the Strontium Nitrate before you add it to your Wimpy Red? I’m taking an informal poll

Nice flame! I purchased 5 pounds of Strontium Carb right after I saw the Discovery rocket special where Pat flew a 6″ Polish Rojo in a minimum dia rocket…

I also just tested my first Wimpy Red, in a 38mm 8-grain config. Flame was great, but I truly needed to glue in the bottom grains.
