RFNA would be a fun oxidizer too with almost any fuel, especially if it is a hypergolic mix.
Most AMA R/C fields would probably BAN you and your aircraft after one flight, but the one flight would be a FUN runway WRECKER !
Nyuk, yuk, yuk !
Nitric acid is also medicinally useful; I once used a few drops of the 10 molar stuff to remove callouses from my left hand. They smoked, turned yellow, and fell off soon afterward, revealing healthy and supple skin underneath. (Speaking of liquid rockets, yesterday I was looking thoughtfully at cans of R-134a refrigerant in the Auto Supplies section of my Wal-Mart. They were threaded just like my cans of Estes RP-100 Cold Propellant were...) Also:

The reaction I got when I wrote to the AMA looking for Horten (Gotha) Go 229 flying wing fighter scale data for a twin-Dynajet-powered R/C model was near-panic, and that was from a mere *letter*. An actual rocket-powered R/C Komet flight at an AMA field would be...interesting, reaction-wise.
