Straight up flight on CTI's G68 white propellant. Avast! Cloud deck was about 1,000 ft at t' time and t' rocket hit apogee at just under that. Well, blow me down! Just before apogee t' ejection charge went off, and t' nosecone separated from t' rocket. T' elastic shock cord finally broke. Resultin' damage be one broken fin on landing, everythin' else be recovered.
