This bothered me as well. While I think the chute is a great idea, and will
probably save a number of lives before all is said and done, doesn't it
strike you as strange that the POH (at least accourding to the NTSB report I
read) says that the only method of spin recovery is to deploy the chute. Why
doesn't opposite rudder work?

Nice to know that the only spin recovery is to deploy (maybe) a
'chute.
