Propellant Compositions
Propellant Compositions are used to produce a lot of gas over an amount of time, these properties are useful in rockets as the gas produced will help it to propel itself into the air. Used in Rockets and Missiles, Ground Spinners, Helicopters / Flying Spinners, and Spinning Wheels / Saxons.
Black Powder Propellant
The easiest and simplest comp in the propellant category to start with.

R-Candy
Leaves a thick trail of smoke. Very high quality propellant. Mix all of the ingredients below together (apart from the red Iron oxide) and heat on a low flame in a pan. In some time, the ingredients will dissolve and leave behind the water and corn syrup. After a long while the water will evaporate and leave behind a thick honey-like liquid, keep on cooking the mixture. When all the water is gone, and the mixture has a clay like consistency, stir the mixture around fast to avoid accidental ignition and remove the mixture on a plate when it does not stick to your fingers. (if it does, it is still humid and needs more drying). Knead the Red Iron (II) Oxide into the mixture and mold the mixture into whatever shape you want, leave to dry. R-candy in powder form makes it more easier to handle.

R-Candy Powder
Leaves a thick trail of smoke. Very high quality propellant. To make it, use above recipe and when it is finished and it is dried in solid pellets, grind it up carefully. And you are done.
Whistling Propellant
Whistles really loudly as it whizzes up. Mix very throughly.
