Thanks for the info! Yeah, not looking to try, just curious if attempted or not (having an emergency drogue chute like other aircraft have done in testing). The emergency chute is the way to go in that situation indeed.
As for development and testing, it’s very fascinating watching the videos of all you folks did! Such a unique product, Thank you! -

Sure, The Proof of Concept aircraft (POC) first tests had a rocket fired spin recovery chute mounted to the tail, it was never used. Len Fox was the test pilot on a lot of that testing too as he is pretty much the go to guy for spin testing aircraft. He has done so much unique testing over his career he is held is super high regard amongst the test pilot community.
The initial strategy was to make the aircraft spin recoverable but Jon Karkow thought it could make it spin resistant. He was right, and It was a worthy endeavor.
