The Extra Flugzeugbau company was established in Germany by Walter Extra, an aerobatic pilot, to design and develop his own aerobatic aircraft. Walter Extra introduced the Extra 300/200 in 1996, and the aircraft is fully certificated in the U.S. to +/-10 G's. The 200 is a little smaller than the Extra 300L, and is powered by a 200 hp, rather then a 300 hp Lycoming engine. It also uses the same wing and tail structure as the EA300/S. It was considerably less expensive, at $170,000 (1996 new), versus the 300L's price of $235,000 (1996 new). At lower speeds, the performance is similar to the Decathalon. When opened up though, it performs similar to the Pitts S-2B (the Pitts has a 60HP edge, but the aerodynamic and clean design of the Extra makes it comparable in performance.
