Rocket had a great boost but t' motor be way too much for t' fins. Ahoy! They shredded off at about 2000 feet. Well, blow me down! T' recovery system worked fine and everythin' but two fins were recovered. T' lower body tube sustained a pretty good zipper and obviously t' back end was missin' all t' fins. It sounds bilge-suckin' but nay too hard t' repair.
