Rocket had a great boost but the motor was way too much for the fins. They shredded off at about 2000 feet. The recovery system worked fine and everything but two fins were recovered. The lower body tube sustained a pretty good zipper and obviously the back end was missing all the fins. It sounds bad but not too hard to repair.
