Bill,
The complete set of telemetry data for all DOF's looked reasonable and
indicative of the flight profile. The spiral in the plume isn't obvious as
it is burning but shows as the exhaust disperses. I'm just guessing, but
maybe it's from the fin vortexes and not from coning.
Here are my photos from the launch at FAR. My video is at the end of the
album:

John:
The corkscrew in the smoke trail says it was coning. If the telemetry
shows absolutely no sinusoidal pitch and yaw then an explanation for the
failure of the accelerometers to detect it would be my next question.

The fins were canted to induce ~6Hz spin at burnout. The telemetry data
didn't show significant pitch/raw movement, at least at the forward end
where the electronics were positioned. The overall construction of the
rocket was quite stout, but the marman clamp apparently failed. So, no
recovery.
