Interesting facts about the Robin DR500
✈ The Robin DR500 is a French built low wing single engine light touring aircraft developed by Avions Robin as a higher performance evolution of the DR400 series.
✈ It uses a Lycoming IO 360 fuel injected four cylinder piston engine rated at 180 horsepower which gives it noticeably stronger cruise performance than many training focused Robins.
✈ The cabin seats five people including the pilot in a two plus three layout which makes it one of the few wooden construction light aircraft in its class to offer true five seat capability.
✈ The aircraft retains the distinctive cranked wing planform seen on earlier Jodel derived Robin designs which improves low speed handling and short field performance.
✈ Robin constructed the DR500 primarily from wood with composite elements which keeps structural weight low and gives the aircraft its smooth aerodynamic finish.
✈ Typical cruise speed is about 260 km per hour which positions the DR500 as a capable touring platform for private owners who want greater range without stepping into complex retractable types.
✈ With a published range of around 1,500 km the DR500 supports serious cross country flying across Europe where many examples operate from grass airfields.
✈ The model has been popular with European flying clubs that require a higher capacity touring aircraft while still benefiting from fixed gear simplicity and straightforward maintenance.
Model Variants for buyers to consider when purchasing a Robin DR500
The principal production version of the Robin DR500 is the DR500 180 Regent which features the 180 horsepower Lycoming IO 360 engine and fixed tricycle landing gear. The Regent designation reflects its touring focus and five seat configuration. While equipment fit and avionics packages vary by production year and operator, buyers generally encounter the same core airframe and engine combination across the fleet. Differences between aircraft typically relate to interior refurbishment, panel upgrades and propeller configuration rather than distinct factory sub variants, so condition and maintenance history matter more than badge differences when evaluating examples for sale.
