The Robin R2160A is an all-metal, low-wing, aerobatic monoplane. It is powered by a 160 hp (120 kW) Lycoming O320D engine. It is stressed to +6 -3g and has a MTOW of 900 kg. There is also a fuel injected model (R160Ai) and a non-aerobatic 120 hp trainer (R120T).
These aircraft were originally designed by Pierre Robin and manufactured by Apex Aircraft but the type certificate has since been obtained by a New Zealand company called Alpha Aviation. This company had all the manufacturing jigs shipped to New Zealand and began deliveries of new build aircraft in July 2006. The type designations (R2160A, etc.) remain the same.
This company Alpha Aviation has since entered into liquidation.
