Strong launch,  tracked to ejection point, nose cone and shock cord deployment but no chute. Rocket still landed about 100 feet from the pad. One fin broke on impact, tube and fin ok so repairable.  Discovered chute was melted which is why there was no deployment.  A little CA and it will be good to go again with a new chute.
