Extra EA-200

The Extra EA-200 is a two-seat, tandem-arrangement, low-wing aerobatic monoplane with a conventional taildragger undercarriage, built by Extra Flugzeugbau and designed by Walter Extra. It reached the United States market in 1996 as a smaller and cheaper sibling of the Extra 300, with a 200 horsepower Lycoming engine in place of the 300 horsepower unit, yet it is described as capable of all unlimited manoeuvres and as a good training and sport aerobatic aircraft. The fuselage is welded steel tube covered in fibreglass and fabric, the wings have a carbon fibre spar with fibreglass skins and an integral fuel tank, and the airframe is stressed for plus and minus 10 G with one person aboard. After a pause while the company concentrated on the EA-500 it returned to limited production in 2007.
