Question
qual fomulação do propelente da este

Answer
Typical black powder-based solid model rocket motors use a ratio of 75% KNO3 (potassium nitrate), 15% charcoal, and 10% sulfur.

Model rocket motors are relatively cheap and plentiful, so I would urge you to use commercially-made motors rather than making your own.
