The R2160i is a French two-seat light touring and aerobatic monoplane, built primarily of all-metal construction. This model, known for its aerobatic capabilities, is powered by a 119 kw (160 hp) Lycoming O-320-D2A four-cylinder engine. A specialized oil recuperation system permits inverted flight for up to 20 seconds. It is designed to perform basic aerobatic maneuvers, operating within design limits of +6G and -3G.
