• Six Chuter West LLC is settling into a new and what we hope to be permanent quarters at Pangborn Airport, East Wenatchee Washington http://www.pangbornairport.com/. Pangborn is also home to Northwing, Manufacturers of a popular weight shift LSA.  Six Chuter West will manage our parts, subassembly, preassembly and full SLSA assemblies from this location.  Future plans include expanding this location to a full service flight center with training, maintenance and other support.

Tim Vedder II, President of Six Chuter West LLC provided more details on the move.  The new facility will provide up to 1800 sq. ft. of space for parts, subassembly and full assembly.  This, Vedder says, will increase our production capacity three-fold.

 Vedder went on to say that the space on the airport now enhances the operation by providing a showroom and a location to complete production test flights.

Doug Maas, Chief Financial Officer for Six Chuter West and Communications and Marketing Director for Six Chuter Inc. explained that this part of the factory operation provides a central location for airframe assembly and the parts center.  He said that this location is enhanced by other flight center locations throughout the United States authorized to do final ELSA and SLSA assembly of Six Chuter powered parachutes.  Essentially we have six other factory locations rather than trying to operate out of one building in one location of the United States. The Six Chuter strategy is to put smaller service centers closer to our customer base rather than expecting them to receive support from one location.

Congratulations to Dennis Stanley and Lew Ershler for successful certification of Six Chuter Inc. XT ssdc 912 N198SC today.

The XT ssdc (side-by-side dual control) is distinctive as a unique dual control trainer designed for instructors and students who are seeking their sport pilot certificate.  Dennis and Lew went “above and beyond” by installing the 912 engine on N198SC.  Dennis flies in a class B airspace environment near Salt Lake City so also installed a transponder and other accessories and features to make N198SC night legal.

Dennis reports that the aircraft and manuals inspection process that goes with an SLSA inspection found “no discrepencies” whatsoever.  And the production test flight went just according to the plan.

Chuck Wales and Amy Wiley finished up SLSA 3094 for Arizona Six Chuter Representative Randy Long.  Here are Randy’s Comments:

Hi Doug,

Amy delivered my new Legend last week and I got my first flight in yesterday.  All I can say is WOW!  It was certainly worth the wait.  With the four blade prop and prop spinner this thing really has some amazing thrust!  Plus its pretty darn good looking too!

Chuck and Amy were fantastic to work with.  You couldn’t ask for a better couple to have on the Six Chuter team.  They were over the top in customer service from start to finish.  I can confidently sell Six Chuter products with pride.

Thanks for everything you and the rest of the Six Chuter team do to make flying fun again!

Randy

Rolando Santiago, factory Assembler for Six Chuter West also finished up SLSA certification on Legend 3100.  This Legend XL like Randy’s is destined for Tim  Vedder, Central, Washington Powered Parachutes.

Rolando with Legend 3100

Ft. Vancouver Aerosports just successfully completed another “special light sport” certification process.  This one completed by factory assembler Rolando Santiago is  Legend XL with dual control installation.   Mike Bird, a N.W. Certified Flight Instructor has purchased this beautiful aircraft and will be instructing with it in the near future.  The Legend is “black hammer” color and installed with the rotax 582E engine and flies under the PD 500 Sunriser canopy.

Tim Vedder II and Jim Baxter signed on board with Six Chuter West LLC to open the latest powered parachute flight center.  They will operate out of the Go-Bent bicycle shop in Wenatchee, but will have a flight and training field in Quincy, WA.  Watch for more news.
