help Staudacher S-300 FAQ
Who designed and built the Staudacher S-300?
The S-300 is associated with American designer and builder Jon Staudacher. It was created as a highly specialized single-seat aircraft for unlimited aerobatic competition and airshow flying.
What makes the S-300 different from a factory-built Extra 300?
The Staudacher S-300 is a comparatively rare, custom-built American design, while the German Extra 300 became a widely produced family of competition and training aircraft. Both target high-level aerobatics, but they come from different designers and manufacturing traditions.
Can the Staudacher S-300 carry an instructor or passenger?
No, the S-300 is configured around a single pilot. Aerobatic instruction therefore has to occur in a two-seat aircraft before a pilot transitions into the Staudacher.
Was the S-300 designed for racing or aerobatic sequences?
Its central purpose is aerobatics, including rapid rolls, vertical maneuvers, and competition sequences. Although powerful aerobatic aircraft sometimes appear at air races, the S-300 was not conceived as a conventional pylon racer.
