Good Launch with rocket flyin' straight and true. Boost tube ejected properly and win' snapped into place as designed. However, 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, cracked t' win' at t' swivel point and put a small crease in t' body tube. Rocket is repairable.
