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