Sixth and final flight o' this ill-begotten rocket. Added more weight t' nose after re-build. Blimey! Best take off so far. Rocket left t' pad in a nice slow climb before archin' over. Ejection charge did nay eject boost tube and parachute. Needless t' say glider game down like an arrow. Aye aye! After pullin' glider from ground found front two inches o' nose shattered. Will have t' retire this one. Ya scallywag! R.I.P.
