First flight for this rocket, my first HPR launch. Rocket went up perfectly, and came down. The chute that I had chosen was too bulky and so was too tight in the airframe. At apogee the motors charge popped the nose cone but the chute stuck in the opening. Came back down to earth and sustained minimal damage. Fixed with CA and masking tape in the spirit of this style of rocket.
