Arrived at t' field shortly after 1:00 and this was t' first flight o' t' day for me but in me haste t' launch I forgot t' check t' recovery system as I had pre-packed this one at home but didn't put any baby power in t' parachute. Avast! T' launch itself was beautiful as it climbed straight up. At apogee parachute was ejected but didn't open. Ahoy! Rocket came down fast and hard just missin' t' field and bounced hard on an open space in t' grass by one o' t' service roads. Will need t' replace cone shroud.
