Bought a new Nomex chute protector t' replace one that had burnt through.  It be bigger than t' previous one and as a result t' recovery gear was a bit overstuffed in t' available body tube.  Decent boost, arcin' into t' wind, past apogee and headin' downhill at ejection.  Ejection charge separated t' nose cone, but t' chute bundle remained lodged in t' rocket.  Tumble recovery on t' field, no damage t' t' rocket by t' brand new chute protector burned through.  Need a better recovery setup for this model.
