description
The ejection charge was way too large. The LCO commented on it. It sounded more like a high power charge than an E. The ejection was so excessive that I lost my Flightsketch Comp. It was attached to the nose cone in a tyvek sleeve and it ripped the sleeve off of the quick-link.

Comments
The burn was fine and the parachute came out, but I feel I was lucky the parachute wasn't fried as well.
