Robin DR-300
The Robin DR300 is a French wooden touring aircraft descended from the Jodel family. Its cranked wing and spacious canopy make it distinctive, while its relatively low weight gives it lively performance on small airfields. It remains a classic of European club flying rather than a mass-market international trainer.

Did you know?
The DR300's bent wing traces back to Jodel's 1950s 'aile cassée' design, a simple all-wood structure that avoided complex curved fairings.
