The Extra 230 was a single-seat
aerobatic aircraft developed in
Germany in the early 1980s. Designed by aerobatic pilot
Walter Extra based on the layout of the
Laser 200 he was previously flying, the Extra 230 was a conventional (if short-coupled) mid-wing cantilever monoplane with fixed
tailwheel undercarriage and a wire-braced
empennage. The fuselage and empennage were of steel tube construction, but the wings were wooden. Production continued until 1990, at which time it was replaced by the
Extra 300
