Design and development

Designed as a trainer for the unlimited class, the TR 200 features a cantilever high-wing, a two-seats-in-tandem enclosed cockpit under a bubble canopy, fixed conventional landing gear with wheel pants and a single engine in tractor configuration.[1]

The aircraft is made from wood. Its 7.42 m (24.3 ft) span wing has a wing area of 10.0 m2 (108 sq ft). The cabin width is 71 cm (28 in). The acceptable power range is 200 to 260 hp (149 to 194 kW) and the standard engine used is the 200 hp (149 kW) Lycoming AEIO-360 powerplant.[1]

The TR 200 has a typical empty weight of 570 kg (1,260 lb) and a gross weight of 870 kg (1,920 lb), giving a useful load of 300 kg (660 lb). With full fuel of 160 litres (35 imp gal; 42 US gal) the payload for pilot, passenger and baggage is 186 kg (410 lb).[1]

The standard day, sea level, no wind, take off with a 200 hp (149 kW) engine is 400 m (1,312 ft) and the landing roll is 450 m (1,476 ft).[1]

The manufacturer estimated the construction time from the supplied kit as 800 hours.[1]
