2nd flight for this rocket today. Much faster lift-off this time with better altitude but soon ran into trouble. When ejection charge went off it blew the nose assembly off the rocket and it came down in two pieces. Upon recovery I found slight wrinkles on both ends of BT from impact with ground but nothing that will prevent it from flying again. Will be able to repair.
