User:Timstaud1/Staudacher S-300

The Staudacher S-300 is a high-performance aerobatic airplane built by John Staudacher near Bay City, Michigan. Each of these aircraft is specially built and only a small number (less than ten) have been produced. Nonetheless, it has been flown in international aerobatic competition and exhibition by noted pilots including Michael Goulian and John Klatt. The most recent version of the aircraft, the S-300D, was first produced in 1993.

The S-300's airframe has a low-wing configuration and was designed to withstand +/- 20 Gs. It is constructed of a combination of wood, metal and composite materials to keep weight to a minimum. The powerplant is rated at 330 hp, and produces a climb rate of over 4,000 feet per minute.
