First Flight of the Mini Zack.  Nice straight boost, good altitude from the 13mm motor, still nose up at ejection. Upper section with parachute attached separated from the booster at ejection.  Tracked the booster to the ground but then couldn‘t pick up the chute again.  Located the booster and eventually found the upper section by walking with the wind.  Elastic section of the shock cord burned through just above the Kevlar section.  No damage.
