 The Aircraft

Extra 300L G-XXTR

The Extra 300L is a true thoroughbred aerobatic aircraft and has earned a reputation as the premier sports, professional and unlimited aerobatic aircraft. The 300L is a traditional taildragger aircraft with a low wing monoplane configuration and a two seat, tandem cockpit.

The Extra 300L is constructed from composite materials such as carbon fibre, epoxy resin and kevlar as well as a rigid tubular steel fuselage frame. The keeps the aircraft weight to a minimum whilst retaining unparalleled strength. The 300L is the only production aircraft to be certified to +/- 10G.  

The wings of the Extra 300 series aircraft are constructed of composite materials and are moulded in two parts. The wings on the 300L are symmetrical throughout the entire span allowing the aircraft to fly as well inverted as it does the right way up.

The pilot and passenger sit in comfort underneath a one-piece molded perspex canopy allowing excellent all round vision. The aircraft is always flown either solo or duo from the rear seat which has full flight controls and instrumentation. Flight controls are duplicated in the front seat allowing basic control of the aircraft.

Power comes from a Avco Lycoming AEIO-540 8.9 litre, 6 cylinder, 300hp engine which gives impressive performance. The Extra will happily cruise at around 160kts and will allow a maximum airspeed of 220kts.

The Extra is renowed for it's user friendly nature with excellent and forgiving handling characteristics while retaining an edge for spectacular unlimited aerobatics. It has become the aircraft of choice for a number of aerobatic pilots on the competition circuit as well as many display pilots around the world.

G-XXTR is based at Shoreham Airport in West Sussex

Vans RV-4 G-BVDI

The RV-4 was designed in the United States by Richard Van Grunsven, and first flew in August 1979. Van’s has been supplying kits for the RV-4 for almost twenty years, and it has become one of the most popular kit aircraft in the world. Somewhere between 900 and 1000 examples have been flown in countries all over the globe. There are around 20 or so in the UK at the present time.

Vans produce a selection of designs, in a tandem or side by side configuration. They also produce a four seat kit, the RV-10. Vans announced in 2004 that the total number of kits sold worldwide, had exceeded 4000.

The RV-4 is a two seat tandem configuration. The seating is compact, but comfortable. There is a 7.3 cubic feet baggage compartment behind the rear seat. The RV-4 s designed to be flown from the front seat only, but there is a stick and rudder pedals for the rear seat passenger to take basic control of the aircraft. Justyn uses a self contained smoke system, which can be fitted quickly in place of the rear passenger seat for shows. Justyn’s RV-4 is fitted with a 5.4 litre, 4 cylinder, 160 hp Lycoming engine and a constant speed propeller for enhanced performance.

RVs are aluminium mono-coque structures. The aluminium skins are supported by an internal structure of ribs, spars, and bulkheads. Thousands of aircraft rivets are used to fabricate the structure. The cowling, wing tips, wheel fairings and similar non-structural fairing parts are made of fibreglass.

The all-around capabilities of the RV-4 are impressive. It is capable of excellent "sport" aerobatics. Roll rates are in excess of 140 degrees per second. The high inertia and low drag of the RV-4 design permits nice large looping manoeuvres at relatively low G-loads. The RV-4 has a design stress limit of +6 and -3G’s at aerobatic gross weight (1375 lbs). This equates to an ultimate, or failure limit of +9 and -4.5 Gs. The RV-4 is equally at home on long cross-country flights, at a fair pace (up to 180 knots), with good all round visibility.

A modified RV-4 has circumnavigated the globe three times in the hands of Australian Jon Johanson. Another modified RV-4, flown by Bruce Bohannon, currently holds the world altitude record forsingle engine piston aircraft at over 49,000 feet.
