My most interesting flight of the day. Left the pad leaning to the left and heading out toward the soccer fields. My guess is that the loop on the nose cone finally gave way. At any case, the nose cone and parachute floated off into the corn or the woods to the east. The body tube came in ballistic and landed out near the Porta-Poopy, very close to where Dave was recovering the sustainer from his Estes Sasha. He returned with both rockets, sparing me the walk.

Actual Altitude: 1,194 Feet
