Extreme Aerosports Named New US Agent For Sbach Aircraft

Two Models Capable Of Aerobatic Competition In The "Unlimited" Class

Extreme Aerosports of Corvallis,OR has been named as the US agent for XtremeAir's Sbach series of aircraft.


Jim Bourke With Sbach 342

Jim Bourke and Doug Jardine of Extreme Aerosports are ready to serve aerobatic pilots as suppliers of what they say is the finest aerobatic aircraft available today. The airplane is configured as a single-place Sbach 300, or as a two place Sbach 342.  Both are fully capable of aerobatic competition in the "unlimited" class.  The two seat model also doubles as a speedy cross country touring model, with a range of over 900 miles and a cruise speed of over 200 mph.

Jim and Doug recently returned from a trip to Cochstedt, Germany, where they visited the XtremeAir factory and met with designer and test pilot Philipp Steinbach. "The folks at XtremeAir have done an outstanding job in designing this aircraft.  I was very impressed with the size of their operation and their commitment to delivering airplanes," said Extreme Aerosports owner Jim Bourke. "These aircraft are in hot demand in Europe, but have not been available in the US until now.  European certification is completed on the 342 model and expected in late 2011 for the 300. We expect brisk sales."

The famous red, white, and black prototype "Thunderbolt" Sbach 342 will serve as the US demonstrator model.  It currently calls Extreme Aerosports HQ in Corvallis home. Jim and Doug are preparing to fly the aircraft in the 2011 competition season.
