First flight for this rocket, me first HPR launch. Blimey! Rocket went up perfectly, ya bilge rat, and came down.  T' chute that I had chosen be too bulky and so was too tight in t' airframe.  At apogee t' motors charge popped t' nose cone but t' chute stuck in t' opening.  Came back down t' earth and sustained minimal damage.  Fixed with CA and maskin' tape in t' spirit o' this style o' rocket.
