where would you get the fuel??

I remember reading about an American rocket engine manufacturer hoping to build a replica ‘163 to show of their engine-the idea appears to have been dropped for lack of funds

French rocket fuel!

Could I run it on eau de vie? Please let me know asap as the distillateur ambulante is due in my part of the world quite soon!

Hydrazine is used in F-16’s as an emergency fuel. If you ever see one crash: RUN! it attacks the nervous system and is lethal.

I wonder why it was placed on Gunbroker

It’s also on e-Bay and I think other places as well.

Any Chemists out there?

You called Sir!

hydrogen peroxide – relatively easy to get!

hydrazine – haven’t used it since my early 20’s. tends to explode if you use it incorrectly. Had to use special glass apparatus without ground glass joints as the grinding of the glass joints could cause it to explode. Try spending an afternoon with this stuff that is out of date and pushing the reaction to increase reaction rate to compensate for it being out of date.. Now I know why I have grey hair.

methyl alcohol – methanol – easy to get.

Chloroform – available but not liked as a result of the Montreal Protocol.

Trichloroethane – just empty out your old Tippex bottles.

KCuCN – should be possible to obtain..

water – more tricky in the south. Plenty here in Cumbria

I wonder why it was placed on Gunbroker, GB is known far more for selling firearms than aircraft,,

Even the residual 2 Stoffs in the tanks were liable to explode with a bumpy landing.
Apparently it was a very fine pure glider… someone in Germany has built, and flies a replica 163.

Yeah, I reckon that what I drank in some remote part was pretty close to C-stoff(Ergol 61) – at least the Chloroform and Potassium Cuprocyanide bits!!!!

T Stoff + 80% solution Hydrogen Peroxide

C Stoff = 30% Hydrazine Hydrate, 57% Methyl alcohol, 13% water.

C Stoff (Ergol 61) = 15% Hydrazine Hydrate, 43.3% Methyl alcohol, 1.7% water, 20% Chloroform, 20% Trichlorethane staurated with Potasium Cuprocyanide

The above formula were taken from RAE report AERO 2072 dated August 45
