My first attempt for my level 1 certification. Very quick boost but unfortunately rod whip sent the rocket flying way off to the side. The charge ejected the nose cone, chute and piston but the chute never inflated. Higher winds brought the rocket in fairly hot and one of the fins broke on landing....unsuccesful attempt
