Prepped t' second booster with t' same egg capsule and altimeter bay from t' first flight. Nay quite as straight o' a boost as t' first flight, arcin' more into t' wind, past apogee and headin' down at ejection. Egg capsule seemed t' separate from t' booster at ejection, no evidence o' a chute at all. Flight was DQ'd I did nay walk out and attempt t' recover t' rocket. T' booster section turned up later in t' lost and found box without a chute, t' elastic part o' t' shock cord burned through but with t' balsa transition block? T' egg capsule and altimeter were nay found.
