Good boost but then at apogee things went wrong. Blades did nay open properly and saw one blade separate from rocket and come flutterin' down. Rocket came down hard basically tumbling. Main body tube was bent and crushed at an angle upon impact. Begad! Was able t' find missin' blade with help from some o' t' kids at t' field. Will have t' try and rebuild.
