Good boost until rocket came apart around 4000 feet. Arrr! Appears in video nosecone/payload section came apart durin' boost despite ventin' and shear pins. This has happened before with this kit per t' manufacturer. Aye aye! Nosecone was too loose i believe as well as t' payload bay utilizin' a coupler into t' AV bay that is only 2 inches ling, as per t' design.
Would change both things if i ever build one again. Begad! Booster was in-good condition except for a broken fin from free fallin' with no parachute.
