Extra Aircraft Extra 300 Lp vs Extra Aircraft Extra Ng

Both the Extra 300 LP and the Extra NG are purpose-built aerobatic airplanes, but they sit in slightly different niches. The Extra 300 LP is best categorized as a two-seat, tandem, high-performance aerobatic and competition/training aircraft. The Extra NG is also an aerobatic aircraft, but it is newer and is typically positioned more toward advanced training and competition with modernized systems and a focus on efficiency and handling refinement. In terms of range, neither aircraft is designed for cross-country travel; range is secondary to aerobatic performance. In general terms, the Extra NG tends to offer a somewhat more practical range and fuel efficiency profile than the Extra 300 LP due to its newer powerplant and design updates, though real-world range varies heavily with power settings and aerobatic use. Passenger capacity is essentially the same in typical configurations: both are two-place aircraft with one pilot and one passenger or student in tandem seating. Neither is intended for carrying additional passengers or meaningful baggage.
