Yeah, not worth my time. I was working on a manifold idea for the Bloodhound motor at one time for a full pressure test. HTP hybrid wont have the same issue. Adding a bit of AP to the HTPB (5%) was also an interesting solution for that motor. Yeah, I just can't get into the hybrids. Not my thing unless they are pressurized versions.
