Twin Paragons over Eastern Washington

The model Six Chuter you choose and the method you select for assembly and certification depend on how you intend to fly. You should also consider the conditions and locations you choose to fly in and your level of skill in flying and maintenance.  Take the time to discuss these factors with an authorized Six Chuter representative before you buy.

 If you intend to fly solo without the ongoing legal licensing requirements of Sport Pilot then the P103 UL is the model for you. Our Legend series is a very cost-effective and high performing model for those who require the more powerful 65 h.p. Rotax 582 engine. The Legend with Rotax 582 E Gear Box, Electric Start has been our most popular selling model. 

 The exciting new Legend “Paragon” is equipped with the Rotax 912UL 80 H.P. engine as standard to provide four-stroke engine dependability and incredible economy.  The Paragon culminates an evolution in the Six Chuter line to represent the lightest, yet strongest and certainly best performing powered parachute available anywhere.

 Add fully functional dual controls to any of our tandem models and you can receive sport pilot training in your own ELSA (Experimental Light Sport Aircraft). Our standard kits are sub-assembled at the Six Chuter factory for economical shipping anywhere in the world.  The average builder can assemble these units in 60-80 hours.  You can purchase a sub-assembled kit and have it inspected and certified as an ELSA. 

 As per FAA regulations, our Special Light Sport Aircraft (SLSA) are assembled, tested and certified for you by the factory they are sold.  Special Light Sport Certified Aircraft can be used for FAA flight instruction and even as rentals.

 Our flight center managers and sales representatives will introduce you to our various models, and provide assembly assistance, training and ongoing support regardless of the model you choose.  Take the time to read about each of our models then go to the slide show links to view some of these in action.

The Legend and Paragon are the Six Chuter standards  for two-seat tandems.  The airframe can be custom ordered for several different engine installations and can also be ordered with various airframe configurations.  These include no front bars,  straight cut front bars and super high outrigger with Halo Bars.  And the various models include standard outriggers (ss models) or halo outriggers (Hdlx).

Legend or Paragon XLss

The Legend XLss or Paragon XLss with standard outriggers and no frontal bars.  This configuration with updated side braces is more than adequate protection for pilot and passenger and reduces overall weight of the aircraft.

Legend or Paragon XLss with Frontal Bars

The Legend XLss Or Paragon XLss with standard outriggers and straight cut front bars uses a straight cut for the frontal bar installation. The standard outriggers keep the canopy attachment points just slightly higher than the center of thrust.  These frontal bars also facilitate installation of a popular “heads up” instrument display.

Legend or Paragon Hdlx with Halo Outriggers

Another configuration for the Legend Hdlx or Paragon Hdlx are dubbed “the halo” and uses a non-traditional very high canopy attachment point. The result is the best passenger rear seat access in the industry.  With nothing blocking access to the rear seat this model is particularly popular where special applications are being conducted from the rear seat such as photography. The heavier (1.5″) front bars are an integral part of the halo
