Excellent flight, until it wasn't. Altitude was excellent and the Scrapper pushed off to the left as it left the pad. The expected ejection charge never came and it bounced on the hillside over by Woodfill Avenue. The upper body tube was crushed somewhat, but I was able to work the nose cone back in, so it should be fixable.
