Lept off the pad. Delay was little too short, resulting in the nose coming loose (thankfully someone with better eyesite than mine was able to track it to the ground. I didnt see it at all). Instead of drifting 600 ft it went around 3000 ft and landed behind the row of trees just to the right of the rocket as it takes off. A little bit of a zipper and a little bit of mud in the altimeter that fortunately stayed with the nosecone, but this guy has seen much worse.
