I recently had a late ejection and the rocket was in "nose over" configuration. The chute deployed "forward" and opened, but trailing body tube drove right into it causing it to collapse and let to the demise of my rocket. I prefer "At Apogee", as it helps separate the parts and no on-coming wind to drive the parts back towards one another. Great video and it gets the mind juices flowing!
I like this shorter informational videos bro, def consider making more like these about other rocketry concepts!!
Will do!

I also prefer Apogee, interesting to hear a case where that caused a chute collapse. I must have gotten lucky mine didn't.
