Good flight up. Nose cone separated from the body and took the parachute with it at ejection. The rocket survived with a slightly cracked fin, but I think I'm going to retire it because this is the second flight failure in two flights. Getting a little frustrated. Maybe I'll fix and fly it again, I don't know.
