The true story and history of Six Chuter Powered Parachutes from 1990 through the company's Twenty-Fifth Anniversary in April of 2015. The book is printed in 8 X 10 Gloss White and is loaded with full color photos. Six Chuter Inc. was one of the very first manufacturers of these unique flying machines, opening their doors in April of 1991. Six Chuter Inc. transitioned ownership and became Six Chuter International LLC in 2010. In April of 2015 Six Chuter celebrated its twenty-fifth-year anniversary. The company has distinction of being the powered parachute manufacturer managed under original leadership longer than any other. Dan Bailey, the founder of Six Chuter Inc. remains on the Board of Directors of Six Chuter International and remains actively involved in design, consulting and even taking customer calls from time to time.As of the time of this writing Six Chuter has nearly 2200 powered parachutes flying in most areas of the United States and around the world. Six Chuter units are flying in Russia, China, Saudi Arabia, Israel, India, South America, Central America, Europe, Africa, and in many other areas. For the most part powered parachutes are being flown for recreational sport activities, but have also been used for unique operations such as missionary work in the Congo. Six Chuter units have even flown in support of documentary productions near the North Pole and the Easter Islands while also being featured on such cable television programs as What's Fun America, Beverly Hills 90210, Nova and MTV's Road Rules. This story is primarily about the people behind the company and others who have been a major part of the success of Six Chuter and the sport of powered parachuting. Given the economic and even political environments around the world that existed during the company's twenty-five-year history it might be considered somewhat miraculous that the company is still in business and impacting the sport of aviation to this date. Whether you are a powered parachute pilot, a prospective pilot, or just interested in good people success stories we hope that you enjoy the book.
