For better information on Rocketry I would suggest going to the web site for National Association of Rocketry and look for the links for basic rocketry info. Building your own rocket engines sounds dangerous, have you ever thought of using any of the commercially available models engines?

i have proven it safe to make my own engines as long as i follow my own ultrastrict safety rules.
i am a veteran of 6 experimental rockets, all made safely, but flew with differing results.

Try the Rocketry forum The Rocketry Forum - Powered by vBulletin for assistance about rocket design. There are some flyable card model rockets available on the web.

I would politely suggest that you don't try discussing home made rocket motors on that forum as they consider it dangerous and don't allow discussions on that subject.
