Part of a three way drag race with my Red and Pink Max rockets.  First off the pad with the C11 motor.  A bit past apogee and pointed down at ejection.  Nose cone separated but the chute stayed in the body tube.  Came down quick and landed flat on the lakebed popping the glue joint on two of the fins.  Easily repaired with CA, but now looking a little beat up for sure.
