Flight looked normal all t' way up, but t' paracute never deployed. Aye aye! Came in balistic. Parachute be halfway ejected but still stuck in t' tube, looks like it may have cushioned t' impact. Motor mount did nay hold, I'm guessin' it already broke on t' way up, because t' engine was rattlin' around in t' tube. So when t' ejection charge went out thar was no pressure, which explains t' puff comin' out o' t' back end at apogee, and also why t' parachute never came out all t' way. Blimey!
No damage otherwise, aside from some paint chippin' at t' top from t' impact. Will attempt motor mount repair, shiver me timbers, although I'm nay really sure how t' get t' centerin' rings out without destroyin' t' whole thing.
