Good boost with rocket weather cocking into the wind. The 24" nylon parachute deployed just after apogee and recovery was a moderate distance down field (I feel this is the perfect 'chute for this rocket). Slight damage to tail cone again from ground impact (lip bent in a couple of spots again). May or may not make a new one but easy to repair anyway (might try to make the next one from a plastic soda or water bottle for better durability). No other damage.
