Another nice flight, quick off the pad, arcing back into the wind. Over the top, pointed down at ejection. Good chute, wind brought it back about 40 feet from the pad for the shortest walk of the day. Found one of the fins next to the rocket that had been snapped off about 1/4 inch above the glue joint, nice clean break across the grain of the wood. Also found a nice new gouge in the nose cone. It didn't land all that hard so I'm thinking that the nose cone snapped back and hit the fin, breacking it, and the landing just finished the job. Simple fix, already completed and ready for action. This bird is starting to look a bit rough though,
