Robin HR-200/100 Club

Wilco Aviation is delighted to present this Robin HR200/100 Club, registration G-BETD. Located at our facility at Henstridge Airfield in the South West of England, this aircraft is available for viewing by appointment.Designed and built by Avions Robin at Darois Airfield near Dijon, France, the HR200/100 Club reflects the high standards of a company that has captured nearly half of the French light aircraft market. The HR200 is a compact two-seat trainer with a full metal airframe stressed to +6G and -3G, built to handle the rigours of everyday flight training with confidence.Powered by a 108 hp Lycoming O-235-H2C engine, this version delivers unexpectedly strong performance. Solo, it can achieve a 1,000 fpm climb, and even with a passenger, it comfortably maintains a 750 fpm rate. Cruise speeds reach 124 mph at 75% power with a range of 650 statute miles from a full 32-gallon fuel tank.The cockpit is impressively roomy, with individual, fully adjustable seats in the Club version. Access is easy via a large forward-sliding canopy, and once inside, visibility is simply unparalleled. The canopy and window design drop the side glazing to elbow level, offering unmatched views in all directions. Even with a deep three-tier instrument panel, there s ample legroom and exceptional forward visibility, further enhanced by the aircraft s natural nose-low attitude in flight.Handling is a highlight of the HR200. The aircraft is nimble without being twitchy, responding instantly to small control inputs while remaining stable and confidence-inspiring attributes that make it ideal for both ab-initio training and touring. It s a pleasure to fly in formation, a rare trait for a light aircraft of this power class, thanks to its precise and well-balanced ailerons.On the ground, nosewheel steering is effective and the aircraft handles well on grass with excellent braking and suspension characteristics. In the air, stall behaviour is predictable and benign, with clean stall speeds at
