Description

Strong winds - just after leaving the rod the rocket faultered for a second and then went back to its original trajectory - looked squirrelly. I forgot to tape the nosecone onto storage bay so nose cone fell off and landed near launch pads when ejection charge fired. Nothing was harmed but stupid mistake. I need to pay more attention when launching low power, I did the same thing last year - no excuse. I'll put a red label where the tape needs to cover to remind me.
