Staudacher S-300D aircraft have been flying since 1993. To date only nine S-300 series aircraft have been produced. Although they share the same planforms and outward dimensions, each aircraft is custom tuned to the individual requirements of its pilot by its builder, John Staudacher.
Construction is kept light and strong by the use of composites throughout the aircraft. Each aircraft is capable of withstanding maneuvers at plus or minus twenty times the force of gravity.
With some 330 H.P. pulling less than 1,600 lbs. through the air, you would expect spirited acceleration, and the S-300D does not disappoint. Its climb rate is in excess of 4,000 feet per minute.
The S-300D seems to respond to stick movement as quickly as you can think of a maneuver. A well balanced control feel with sufficient movement so as not to over control, yet light enough to produce instant response, makes the aircraft a pilot favorite.
Inverted flight can be performed with just a slight forward pressure on the stick. There is no need for attitude compensation as speed changes throughout the aircraft's performance range. Cross winds have minimal effect on flight direction.
The aircraft pictured above is piloted by John Klatt. He performs incredible aerobatic maneuvers in his Air National Guard Staudacher S-300D at air shows around the United States from June through November.
