Nice boost, arcing over into the wind during the coast, past apogee, nose down at ejection. Ejection charge popped the nose cone off but did not eject the chute. Rocket recovered flat/tumbled to the asphalt. Minor damage to the lip of the body tube, and fin chewage. Need to find a smaller chute protector as this is a recurring event on this rocket.
