Good boost, all motors lit. Event at apogee, but parachute did not eject from body. Freefall, landing on side, 3 fns destroyed, some wrinkling in various body tubes--more cometic than structural damage for wrinkles. Will need to rebuild fins and remove ejection baffle, which created too much back pressure.
