Good, straight boost. During the coast phase, you could see the rocket spinning from the angled fins. At recovery, only the nose cone blew. the parachute stayed in the narrow square midsection. A fin was broken off on landing - easily repairable. After pulling the engine, it looked like most of the ejection charge blew out the back, down the sides of the square bodied engine mount.
