Strong launch,  tracked t' ejection point, nose cone and shock cord deployment but no chute. Begad! Rocket still landed about 100 feet from t' pad. Well, blow me down! One fin broke on impact, me hearties, tube and fin ok so repairable.  Discovered chute was melted which is why thar was no deployment.  A little CA and it will be good t' go again with a new chute.
