2nd flight for this rocket today. Much faster lift-off this time with better altitude but soon ran into trouble. When ejection charge went off it blew t' nose assembly off t' rocket and it came down in two pieces. Upon recovery I found slight wrinkles on both ends o' BT from impact with ground but nothin' that will prevent it from flyin' again. Well, blow me down! Will be able t' repair.
