Nice boost, quick and straight, arcin' over a little durin' t' coast, still nose up at ejection.  Booster and payload sections separated at ejection, but came down more or less together and landed close t' each other on t' field.  Shock cord had parted just above t' end o' t' booster, and about 6 inches below where it had done t' same thin' previously.  T' flat woven Keelhaul®©™ shock cord has some very minor surface charrin' in that area, but seems sound.  I will probably add a protective sleeve t' t' shock cord when I tie it back together.  No other damage.
