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.

The attached video is of a launch at FAR this past weekend.
In keeping with recent discussion, note that the smoke trail appears to
indicate coning of the vehicle over the last third of the boost. While the
video alone does not allow us to determine whether that coning was due to
an aerodynamic or a mass balance asymmetry, we can observe that the vehicle
was sufficiently strongly built to survive the side forces it evidently
suffered.
