The Extra is a two seat aerobatic monoplane built by Walter Extra in 1980’s. Often used in aerobatic competition in the Unlimited category. The 330LC was designed lighter, faster and more maneuverable than it’s competition. The design allows speeds of up to 250mph/418km/h. The Extra 330LC can perform crazy aerobatic maneuvers like Hammerheads, Tailslides and our favourite – Lomcevaks (Czech for “headache”).
