Good boost, all motors lit. Event at apogee, but parachute did nay eject from body. Freefall, landin' on side, 3 fns destroyed, me bucko, some wrinklin' in various body tubes--more cometic than structural damage for wrinkles. Will need t' rebuild fins and remove ejection baffle, which created too much back pressure.
