- 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.

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.
