Not meaning to discourage you from dabbling, but if you are not much into experimenting, I recommend shelling out the bucks for those long burn rocket glider motors and have fun with the gliders.

Long ago I once thought, "oh what's the big deal, just mix it up, pack some grains, and start flying..." I've been to local EX workshops and those guys develop some impressive motors, but not after investing a lot of time dedicated to experimentation and study, and of course spending a lot of money to learn the process. I learned first hand that it's a non-trivial process. I don't recommend cook-booking up some sugar motors just to save some money. See if you have some EX guys in your area and contact them.
