The flight was very good, went straight up and high, will use altimeter next flight. The problem was with recovery. Human error, I failed to tie the shock cord to the nose cone. The front 6"of the body tube took most of the shock on the landing, slight damage to nose cone. Already repaired ready to fly again.
