Windcocked to the left off the pad. I got distracted trying to see if the booster would glide. (It did. Haltingly.) Never saw the sustainer recover. Turns out it was with good reason. The nose cone never cleared the body tube due to the motor ejecting, and it did a free fall to the soccer parking lot. It was later found by one of my fellow flyers. Only damage was a cracked fin.
