Extra unveils EA-300LP

By General Aviation News Staff · August 5, 2005 ·

Extra Aircraft has unveiled the newest addition to its lineup, the EA-300LP. The model was specifically designed with the competitive and performance pilot in mind, according to Ken Weaver, Extra’s president.

The most noticeable redesigned feature is the EA-300 LP’s cowling for improved engine air flow. A lightweight carbon-fiber honeycomb composite was used in the cowling compared to a glass composite used in the current Extra 300 lineup. With the redesign, the 300LP is 30 pounds lighter than the 300.
