The Extra EA-260 is a hand-built, single-seat aerobatic aircraft derived from the Extra 230 and first flown in 1986, designed by Walter Extra as a higher-performance version with 60 percent more power and an 18 percent increase in weight. It has a welded steel tube fuselage covered in fabric, a bubble canopy and wings built around a Polish pine spar with birch plywood skins, and it is powered by a fuel-injected 240 kW (320 hp) Lycoming AEIO-540-D4A5 turning a four-bladed constant-speed propeller. Patty Wagstaff flew the first example to two US National Aerobatic Championship victories, in 1991 and 1992, before it was retired to the Smithsonian Institution. Four are registered in total.
