Hi,

You have two very nice MiniMax half VW aircraft, could you tell me what model this MiniMax is, and how the 1/2 VW engine is mounted? Also what do you think is a better aircraft the MiniMax or Fisher 303, for building time, 4 stroke engine options, strength, and wind capability? Also do you know of any MiniMax kits for sale or complete aircraft, I would prefer in Canada unless the owner would bring it up to Canada if I payed the fuel?

Thank you,

Sterling

@Sterlingengines the model with the canopy is the 1600. I do believe the minmax would be easier to build since the fischer has more parts in the wings. I have a friend that flies one with a stroke but would work fine with a 4 stroke. I believe both of my old minmax's are for sale , I am going to forward your message to the parties that own them now.

I have a set of plans I will sell.

The Minimax line of aircraft are the best ultra light every designed.Waye Ison spent 10 years developing this line of aircraft. The big plus is its the only ultra light kit design with an FAA approved stress analysis that I can find.That to me means millions. The dream magazines and the wally woofers who write about such aircraft never quote this information. Ison I believe sold 4000 kits and 100,s are flying.The Minimax is a very nice aircraft to fly for such a light weight.

@Bassplayingboy ther are a lot of two seaters in those you will learn to fly them and when you have your pilot licence than you will be able to fly a one seater.

(because your comment is two jears old I think you know this by now, but I thought lets just answer it.
