Estes Hi-Flier on C6-5

Maiden flight with this altimeter. Great flight, but something is wrong with the flight data. It stopped recording at apogee, and what is going on with the dip in altitude shortly after motor burnout?

Alpha flight 80

Q-Jet C12-6FJ. Really nice flight all around. But nose cone stuck backwards in body for descent. Interesting snap-back, that.
