The feeling of exhilaration as you soar just above the treetops, the wind breezing through your hair, complete and total freedom from the confines of gravity, life's problems becoming distant memories ...and then you wake up to the disappointing realization... it was all just a dream.
But wait! This is one of those great dreams from which you'll never have to wake again. Let us introduce you to the world of Six Chuter aerochutes...your ticket to personal flight.
What is an aerochute? The simplest explanation we've heard is, "it's like a ultralight, except it uses a parachute instead of wings". Quite honestly, that's a pretty fair description.
Aerochutes first took flight well over ten years ago and have rapidly gained popularity. The reasons for the rapid growth in numbers of aerochute enthusiasts are basic.
The first and probably most important reason is safety. The wing of an aerochute is formed by the "canopy" or parachute. The characteristics of the canopy along with the constant speed of the craft make rolling, looping or stalls virtually impossible...unlike fixed wing aircraft. Even with a complete engine shutdown...you merely drift to the ground.
The second major attraction to this booming sport is affordability. You can own your very own aircraft for about the same price as a small pleasure boat...but, you get the added benefit of year round use and you need only a small field or pasture for take-offs and landings.
