LOOP News 9 JAN 08: XTREME DISPLAY IN JAPANTHESE amazing pictures are of the forthcoming Xtreme 3000 aerobatic plane at the recent Haute Voltiige Grand Prix event in Japan. Designer Philipp Steinbach was at the controls for the prestigious event, with the firm making world level competition wins its next goal after wins in France and German national championships. The plane shares the silhouette of the same firm's Impulse, but with massively beefed up engineering and a Lycoming 540 powerplant. The aerobatic plane is nearing final type certification with EASA and is being brought into the UK by Damyns Hall-based Microlight Sport. Boss Deepak Mahajan said, "We are taking orders now for the Xtreme, probably for delivery at the end of 2008. It is making quite a name for itself already and with people like Paul Bonhomme lending experience in the early stages of its design, Philipp has really done his homework in finding out what pilots want at that level." Xtreme is also working on a two-seat variant, and Mahajan said, "It's a very good time for them, the two-seater is nearing the final test stage and then certification. "I think a lot of people are going to be really keen to get in them, and some of the Red Bull series guys have been asking about when they can get in the 3000s."
