Maiden flight after rebuild. Rocket left the pad in a hurry climbing straight and fast. Parachute was just past apogee but looked like it had a slight problem. Upon recovery I found one line had ripped out of chute. Also right rear stab is lose most likely from ground impact. Will make repairs and fly again.
