Good Launch with rocket flyin' straight and true. Boost tube ejected properly and win' snapped into place as designed. However, me hearties, rocket appeared t' be nose heavy inspite o' t' pre-testin' I did t' balance it. She nosed over and did a lawn dart trick which sheared off t' tail and elevator assembly, shiver me timbers, cracked t' win' at t' swivel point and put a small crease in t' body tube. Rocket is repairable.
