  • This minimax wasn't built by a kit, it was built from the plans so it has some modifications, two fuel tanks, added structural reinforcements, etc. The tips were fabricated

  • just question for you. did you install brakes on your minimax? i'm debating weather or not i need them.

  • Yes, there are heel brakes installed on the minimax, and I would highly recommend them, unless you have endless and endless amounts of landing area

  • Hi, I am finishing up my Mini and would like to know if you had to get the FAA to certify or is this light enough for ultralight class?

  • Nice videos; didn't see an "N" Number. Obviously it doesn't fall under the perview of FAR Part 103 (254 lbs or less). That is unless you have a balistic chute installed, that would give you, what, another 26 lbs (as I recall) that would be 280 lbs empty weight. But the engine doesn't sound like a 277 which might get you down to 280. Just curious. If it is N numbered, I offer my humble apologies. My EROS Mini-max (10 years old now) came in at 396 empty. Inspections are a pain, for sure.

  • Where'd you find the droop tips?

  • I did the hand brake.. Works GREAT. I fly both off unimproved and paved and never had a need for differential braking. (flycory is my youtube channel, you can see mine there)

  • thanks for the info.

  • nice flying!! I'm working on a minimax myself.
