Old news! YCC workers were informed in feb last year that the cabin was going to be made in Wichita. As far as I know, the cockpit & wings are made in Victoria, fight controls Campbell river, tail boom I think is done by Found aircraft. vertical and horizontal stabs, I am not sure where they are made. Start to finish assembly is done in YYC and paint in Victoria.

the rear fuse empenage is built at Fleet Canada
as is the verticle fin and the horizontal stab
We also build the bonded wing skins and the other bonded parts (non composite)
We also do the stringers used in the aircraft structure
We supply Victoria ,Calgary (including Field) and Triumph
