My Arreaux is cursed! After a nice straight boost to around 2000' something happened at deployment and the shock cord tore right at the 'chute. Both tube sections fell back to the field and the parachute drifted off downrange. The altimeter 2 failed to record any data but still worked, as did the BRB Beeline transmitter in the payload section. Amazingly there wasn't any other real damage and the rocket will fly again.
