Another nice flight, arrr, quick off t' pad, arcin' back into t' wind.  Over t' top, pointed down at ejection.  Good chute, me bucko, wind brought it back about 40 feet from t' pad for t' shortest walk o' t' day.  Found one o' t' fins next t' t' rocket that had been snapped off about 1/4 inch above t' glue joint, ya bilge rat, nice clean break across t' grain o' t' wood.  Also found a nice new gouge in t' nose cone.  It didn't land all that hard so I'm thinkin' that t' nose cone snapped back and hit t' fin, me bucko, breackin' it, and t' landin' just finished t' job.  Simple fix, already completed and ready for action.  This bird is startin' t' look a bit rough though,
