Robin HR-200/100

Robin HR-200

The original Avions Robin HR-200 was designed by Christophe Heintz to supplement the earlier Avions Robin designs of Jean Délémontez who also designed the popular post war wooden Jodel. The HR-200 prototype first flew on 19 July 1971 and entered production in 1973.

The R2000 Alpha name was applied to a new aircraft which shared the fuselage of the HR-200, but had all new wing and tail surfaces. The prototype R2000 Alpha flew on 15 January 1976 and production followed in 1977 to 1983.

Licensed production was also undertaken in Canada.

The R2160 model was returned to production with minor modifications in 1994 by Apex Aircraft.

In 2004 Alpha Aviation of New Zealand bought engineering jigs and equipment and world wide production rights[4] to both the Robin HR-200 and Robin R2000 series.

Production of the New Zealand development began in 2006 against orders for nine aircraft and 18 options (including orders from the UK, South Africa and Australia), with capacity to build four aircraft a month. An Alpha 160A, ZK-FXY, was first off the production line, being test flown by Noel Kruse and Steve Lange on 12 April 2006. It will be subsequently used as a company demonstrator. It made its first public appearance at the 2006 Warbirds over Wanaka airshow. The next three aircraft off the production line were ordered by the Waikato Aero Club as training aircraft. The official handover ceremony for these three aircraft took place on 15 April 2007.

A further 12 aircraft have been ordered by CTC Aviation Training Ltd. (New Zealand) for use as a primary trainer in their 'CTC Wings' pilot training scheme.

The 4th and 5th Alpha 160A's to roll off the production line were bought by Southern Wings, and since early 2007 have been operated for both primary training and aerobatic instruction.

In January 2008 production was halted due to the liquidation of Alpha Aviation by parent company Inventis.
