Nice slow climb up to altitude. Ejection charge at apogee but glider nosed over to much. Not much glide and hard landing. Much damage on recovery. Wing sheared off again due to lawn dart. Parachute OK but end of boost tube shredded. Part of boost tube still in glider. Main BT of glider has a bad bend again as well. Will require much repair before able to fly again.
