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.
