Never done underslung - would a drogue chute not require a certain amount of forward speed to have any effect 40kts or so(?), and at low speed on a fuselage without an effective drogue would the downwash not cause an almost immediate spin considering the vertical stabiliser at the end of the tail boom being susceptible to any sideways airflow?
