The Extra 230 was a single-seat aerobatic aircraft that Walter Extra developed in Germany in the early 1980s, modelled on the layout of the Laser 200 he had been flying. It was a short-coupled mid-wing cantilever monoplane with fixed tailwheel undercarriage and a wire-braced tail; the fuselage and tail were steel tube but the wings were wooden. It was powered by a 150 kW (200 hp) Lycoming AEIO-360 flat-four, and published figures give an empty weight of 440 kg and a maximum take-off weight of 560 kg. Production continued until 1990, when the Extra 300 replaced it, and the design was the starting point for the higher-powered EA-260.
