ALPHA 160A / ROBIN 2160

PITTS SPECIAL S2A

The Robin 2160 is a French designed, Canadian manufactured low wing monoplane, with two seats, a big bubble canopy and control sticks, not steering wheels. It has an excellent power to weight ratio and the crisp handling of a sports car. The Robin is powered by a 160HP engine, cruises at 120kts and climbs at 1000 ft/min. It is capable of all 'standard' aerobatic manoeuvres. It is without a doubt the most robust and manoeuvrable aerobatic training aircraft in Australia. During 2007 RBFT is acquiring 3 new Alpha 160A aircraft – the New Zealand built version of the Robin 2160.

The Red Baron operates the Pitts Special S2A aerobatic bi-plane.
The aircraft was designed by Curtis Pitts in 1949 and has been a favourite for both competition and sport pilots ever since. The Pitts is rated fully aerobatic with structural limits of +6G and -3G and is the aircraft of choice for many national and international, top ranked aerobatic pilots.

EXTRA 200

Red Baron Flight Training operates the Extra 200 and Extra 300 high performance aerobatic aircraft, similar to those used in the Red Bull Air Race. These aircraft are available for advanced aerobatic training and competition to graduates of our AAC Course who have also acquired solid aerobatic competition experience in the Pitts S2-A and show the necessary skills and focus to compete at advanced level in state and national competitions.
