Decided to load up the Pink Max for another flight.  Nice smooth boost, arcing into the wind.  Just past apogee, nose down at ejection.  Once again, the nose cone seperated but the chute did not deploy from the BT.  Tumble recovery on the field, no damage.  Pretty much an exact copy of the first flight, not sure if my chute packing needs work or it was just one of those days.
