Check with Trip Barber to be sure, but I would be very surprised if anyone would interpret this rule to mean that you can't deploy chutes before apogee. It's so hard to tell when a rocket in flight hits apogee that it would probably be unenforceable anyway.I found this in the TARC rules...
"The two sections must separate after apogee and recover separately, both by parachute"
Does this mean we can't use our method of deploying the parachute before apogee to add drag?
