Extra EA-300LP Plane
Extra Aircraft has announced their latest addition to the Extra 300 series, the new EA-300LP. This 300 series
is Extra's acrobatic plane which is designed to spend almost as much time upside down as it does flying straight. The
new model is designed with new aerodynamic features and weight-saving production processes. The engineers have
structurally enhanced the aircraft by using a lightweight carbon-fiber honeycomb composite in the cowling compared to a
glass composite used in the current Extra 300 lineup. It also has a lightweight oil-cooling system, a sport
carbon-fiber instrument panel, lightweight avionics package, and Teflon hose kit with integrated fire sleeves. The new
developments shaved 30 pounds off the plane, which in most planes wouldn't be much but makes a difference to the
competitive pilots who compete in these nimble beauties.
