The grain is case bonded to the PVC, that is the inhibitor. Flexi fuel is very
"sticky" and allows reliable case bonding to PVC. I have personally seen single
grain motors up to L class fired.

well inhibitors as far as i know are just to slow down how fast the fuel is
consumed so that you can get a longer burn time. you just have to adjust the
size of the nozzle according to how much fuel is being burnt. an inhibited
motor will have a smaller nozzle than an uninhibited motor because the amount
of pressure being produced is different.

I've seen that Dan does not make any grains like we do for KNSB, KNDX or KNSU.
Neither he uses any inhibitors to prevent motor from explosion.

flexi fuel is just normal sucrose fuel that has corn syrup added to it and it
has a small amount of Water still in the fuel because the ingredients are
dissolved in water and boiled away. usually you would let all the water boil
away in a controlled manner but flexi fuel leaves a tiny amount of water in the
fuel which allows it to be a bit flexible, hence flexi fuel, so that the fuel
doesn't crack under the heat.

I've been reading about Dan's 'Flexi Fuel'. Is that similar to jelly?
And also can we make a big grains for any high impulse motor with this flexi
fuel?
