Extra Question

Post by Anthony-NYC » 03 Sep 2016 00:07

I know some of the Extras were experimental and some certified. Can someone tell me which ones were certified and which ones were experimental?

All 230s and I think 260s are experimental. I think all other types have experimental and certified versions.

Thanks for the info. I could not find much online about the experimental versions.

The easy way to find out what is not in the experimental category is to look at the type certificate.

Also, remember, it didn't necessarily have to start out as experimental, it could have very well started out certified and then modified ending up in the experimental exhibition category. One of the mid-wings I've been looking at falls into that category.

That´s exactly what happened to our "330XS". It started out as a certified 300S, but later got updated with a larger rudder, modified elevator and an AEIO-580 and is now registered as an experimental (in Germany however).
