Good shipshape boost with rocket goin' straight up. Ahoy! Parachute was deployed at apogee and rocket made a safe decent until it be caught by a small rocket retrievin' tree. Rocket be recovered from tree with minor damage t' tree (pulled off a half dozen leaves freein' 'Chute). Well, blow me down! Upon removal from tree found one set o' win' tubes had popped off from impact in tree as I saw somethin' fall out o' t' tree when it hit. Tubes were at base o' tree. Also slight damage t' top o' BT from snap-back o' NC. Small mark on NC confirms this.
