What should I check when buying a used EA 330?
On a used EA 330, check airframe hours, engine time since overhaul, avionics generation and damage history before anything else. PlaneFox recommends a pre-purchase inspection by an EASA Part-145 shop that knows the type, which typically costs EUR 1,500 to EUR 3,500. Under 1,500 airframe hours is low-time and above 3,500 means budgeting for higher maintenance; most piston engines run a 2,000-hour TBO, so past 1,500 to 1,700 hours since overhaul expect the overhaul within one to three years at EUR 25,000 to EUR 45,000. Read the full logbook history for prop strikes, gear-up landings and structural repair, and confirm ADs and SBs are complied with.

About the Extra Aircraft EA 330

Aircraft overview

The Extra Aircraft EA 330 is a German built, piston powered aerobatic aircraft developed by Extra Aircraft as an evolution of the Extra 300 line. The type is aimed at unlimited category aerobatics, competition flying and advanced upset recovery training, with versions configured for either single seat competition use or tandem two seat operation. Its importance in the used market comes from its position as a current generation Extra design with the larger Lycoming six cylinder engine, carbon composite flying surfaces and handling qualities tailored for high energy aerobatic flight.

Performance & specifications

The EA 330 family is typically powered by a Lycoming AEIO 580 series engine rated at 315 hp, driving a constant speed aerobatic propeller. Performance varies by variant and equipment fit, but published figures for the EA 330 line commonly place maximum cruise in the region of 170 to 180 knots, with practical range around 500 nautical miles on touring equipped versions. Certified aerobatic load limits are a defining specification, with the single seat EA 330SC approved for unlimited aerobatics at high positive and negative G limits. Service ceiling is generally listed around 16,000 feet. Useful load depends strongly on variant, empty weight, smoke system, avionics and fuel configuration.

Cabin & avionics

The EA 330SC is a single seat competition aircraft, while the EA 330LX and EA 330LT use tandem seating for two occupants. The cabin is compact and functional, prioritising visibility, control harmony and restraint systems over travel comfort. Buyers should expect an aerobatic cockpit with a stick, five point harnesses, canopy ventilation and limited baggage provision. Avionics are usually simple compared with touring aircraft: VFR radios, transponder, engine monitoring and compact Garmin or similar displays are common. Garmin G1000 or Garmin Perspective suites are not typical for this model category.

Buying & value

Condition assessment should focus on aerobatic usage history, engine time and inspection status, propeller condition, wing and tail attachment areas, landing gear loads, canopy condition, smoke system installation and documentation for competition or training operations. Common market distinctions include the EA 330SC for serious solo competition, the EA 330LX for dual aerobatics and instruction, and the EA 330LT for buyers wanting more cross country utility while retaining aerobatic capability. Upgrades often include modern lightweight avionics, engine monitors, smoke systems and newer propellers. On PlaneFox, current EA 330 asking prices average about EUR 355,000, with observed listings from roughly EUR 190,000 to EUR 518,000, reflecting variant, age, hours, equipment and competition pedigree.
