Is such on-site site casting procedure on YouTube? Saw such only for red candy
propellant years ago. No vacuum casting.

I have never cast a solid motor anywhere other than at the launch site.



I understand that lots of folks do this at home and then transport w/o
following the law; I've even seen a well known fool bring a fully fueled rocket
to a launch, in his car. The pointy end was aimed at following traffic.



I have chosen differently.

Bill, it's this how you are testing your solid at FAR?

One of the primary reasons I started developing hybrids it's the cost and
simplicity of transporting the materials from a rocket unfriendly place... and
I'm smart enough to know that I'm not smart enough to make a biprop work.
