Alright folks, I'm working on a video for this flight ASAP but thought I'd fill ya'll in!


The boost was awesome, but shortly after apogee we lost tracker signal. I reported the rocket lost and the following day, someone recovered the nosecone.

Electronics data on both seems to indicate the rocket was coming in ballistic until the main charges fired. All four charges fired, so I really have no explanation for that. However, the event did rip the shock cord off the motor tube. So, at this time, the fin can and motor case are MIA. I'm hopeful that someone will find it and bring it to the lost and found in Argonia

Tilt angle at burnout... Did you lose a fin?

Thanks for posting the data

It would be far worse than 13 degrees off vertical if it lost a fin! It was super windy and weathercocked pretty hard, but it was together!
