Extra Aircraft Extra 300 Lp vs Extra Aircraft Extra 330 Lx vs Extra Aircraft Extra 330 Sc

All three are single‑engine, two‑seat, tandem‑cockpit aerobatic aircraft in the Extra “300/330” family, aimed primarily at competition, airshow, and advanced upset/aerobatic training rather than travel. The Extra 300 LP is the earlier, lower‑power variant and is often characterized as a capable “all‑round” aerobatic platform; its practical cross‑country range is modest and typically somewhat lower than the 330 series because it is generally flown at lower cruise speeds and is frequently operated with aerobatics‑oriented fuel planning. The Extra 330 LX is a higher‑power, more modern development with stronger vertical performance for competition and displays; its practical range remains in the same general short‑to‑moderate band typical of high‑performance aerobatic singles, with usable range highly dependent on power setting and reserve strategy. The Extra 330 SC is the more competition‑focused, lighter/single‑seat‑optimized concept within the 330 line (though commonly referenced alongside two‑seat trainers), emphasizing maximum aerobatic performance over touring utility; in practice it tends to offer the least “travel‑oriented” range. Passenger capacity is broadly two for the 300 LP and 330 LX (pilot plus one), while the 330 SC is typically configured for one in many competition examples.
