Probably better to start with solid fuel motors? lots to learn before progressing onto liquid fuel motors.

Probably better to start with solid fuel motors? lots to learn before progressing onto liquid fuel motors.
- LM358 7mo agoSolid rocket motors are conceptually simpler, but much more dangerous and in many jurisdictions legally dubious to make yourself compared to hobbyist bi-liquid or hybrid designs.
- hermitcrab 7mo agoOff the shelf, solid fuel motors are almost impossible to start accidentally. I don't see how they are more dangerous than dealing with tanks of pressurised gases. Making solid fuel motors yourself is dangerous (and illegal without a licence in the UK).
