Would it be possible to make small hybrid rockets burning nitrous oxide and and solid fuel? The motor would use a 'whipped cream' 12g nitrous oxide cylinder and burn a fuel such as rubber or sugar. The rocket would be about 1' long.

I dont think 1" long is enough

There are Hybrids on the market already, called 'Micro Hybrids' believe it or not!

Check out this link : http://www.hpr.org.uk/mhybrid

They are designed and made by a friend of mine called Roy Trzeclak-Hicks.

Thanks, i wasnt sure that the cylinder would be light enough. I might have to buy one of those hybrid kits on http://www.hpr.org.uk/mhybrid , As long as i can legally own and use it without any lisences!

No licences are required, as they are only D - E impulse.

I saw a Pulse Jet this weekend, very interesting.

Please note that Hyrbids are alot more complicated than 'Estes' or 'Quest' rocket motors.
