Great boost, nice long burn, arcing into the wind after burnout.  Good drogue deploy at apogee, moving pretty good in the wind.  Main chute did not deploy, landed in the beans under drogue.  Minimal damage to booster tube fins, upper payload tube creased.  Ematch still connected to the av bay, not sure what happened, had continuity on both charges on the pad.  Significant disconnect between the Rocsim prediction and the actual altitude.  Some of that is explained by the arcing flight profile, but not all of it?
