Straight up flight on CTI's G68 white propellant. Cloud deck was about 1,000 ft at the time and the rocket hit apogee at just under that. Just before apogee the ejection charge went off, and the nosecone separated from the rocket. The elastic shock cord finally broke. Resulting damage was one broken fin on landing, everything else was recovered.
