Nice boost on a cloudy, cool day. Arcing over at the top of the climb, Ejection charge pushed the nose cone out but the chute bundle stayed stuck in the body tube. Tumble recovery on the soft, muddy field, no damage. This rocket needs very careful chute packing to get a good deployment, Kevlar shock cord and inside of BT are starting to show some damage from the hot ejection charges being trapped in the BT.
