First Flight!  Great boost, straight, fast and high, arcing into the wind at the top of the climb, nose up at ejection.  Saw the ejection event but lost sight of it initially.  Got a point out from the crowd and eventually and picked it up just before landing.  Long walk, landed in the beans.  Upper section snapped back into the lip of the body tube and took a huge chunk out of the nose cone
