Instead of buying black powder rocket engines for model rocketry you can build rockets out of empty soft drink bottles, add fins and a nose cone, fill with water, pressurize it and send it as high as small black powder powered rockets.
What you would like to have to do this is have full detailed instructions of how to make the rocket and launch pad.
This rocket will go MUCH higher than two-liter bottles you see all around the internet.
The Water Rocket Manual is in the process of being reformatted to pdf files and the final chapters are being written (see the blog link above for more explanation). Until then, you can download the first two chapters that give you all the instructions you need for your first rocket and the launch pad for free. The full manual will be ready soon.
