Extra 230
|
The original wooden wing
Extra 230 was designed by company founder Walter
Extra to meet the requirements of competition
pilots with the Swiss Aero Club. First flight
occurred during 1983. Unusually for an aircraft
of its type the Extra 230 features a wooden wing
with Dacron covering, while as on other
aerobatic competition aircraft the 230's wing
has 0° incidence for sustained inverted flight.
Production ceased in 1990 when Extra was
experiencing difficulties in sourcing the
correct type of wood. |
