Base vs. Prefab vs. Quick-Build+
1350SS kit levels: Base, prefab wing ribs, or prefab ribs and metal parts
Every Mini-Max full aircraft kit is sold at three kit levels. The airplane, the plans and what the kit includes do not change between levels. What changes is how much of the wing-rib building and metal-part fabrication is finished before the kit ships.
| What changes | Base KitSKU 1350SS | Kit with Prefabbed Wing RibsSKU 1350SS-PF | Kit with Prefab Wing Ribs and Prefab Metal PartsSKU 1350SS-QB |
|---|---|---|---|
| Price | $13,199.99 | $13,699.99+$500.00 over Base | $14,199.99+$1,000.00 over Base |
| Wing ribs | You build every wing rib yourself from the rib materials in the kit. | Wing ribs arrive prebuilt. Rib building is the most repetitive, detail-sensitive part of the wing, so this is the time saver most builders ask for first. | Wing ribs arrive prebuilt, as in the prefabbed-ribs level. |
| Metal parts | You lay out, cut and fabricate the metal fittings from the metal stock supplied with the kit. | Same as Base: you fabricate the metal fittings. | Selected metal components arrive prefabricated, saving layout, cutting and fabrication time. This is the most complete kit level. |
| Everything else | Identical at all three levels: the airframe materials, the covering kit, the separate ½-gallon T-88 epoxy kit, the Metal & Hardware Kit, one fuel tank, a windshield and the aircraft plans. Additional fuel tanks are optional extras. | ||
| Mini-Kit equivalent | Wing Rib Kit (Raw Materials) and Metal & Hardware Kit (Standard) | Wing Rib Kit (Prebuilt Wing Ribs) | Wing Rib Kit (Prebuilt Wing Ribs) and Metal & Hardware Kit (Prebuilt Metal Parts) |
| Build time | The longest of the three. Each model's base-kit estimate is on its product page under Build Time & Skill Level. | Shorter than Base. The published prefab estimate assumes both prebuilt ribs and prefab metal parts, so expect this level to land between the two figures. | The shortest of the three. Each model's prefab estimate is on its product page under Build Time & Skill Level. |
| Best for | The lowest price, and builders who want to make every part themselves and have the shop time to do it. | Builders who want to skip rib building but are comfortable making metal fittings. | Builders who want the shortest path to assembly, or the least shop equipment for metal work. |

Build Time & Skill Level+
Estimated build time depends on the kit level you choose and your experience. Prefab wing ribs and prefab metal parts meaningfully reduce build time.
- Base kit build time: 325-400 Hours
- Prefab quick-build kit build time: 250-300 Hours
This is an amateur-built, wood-and-fabric aircraft designed for hands-on homebuilders. Typical skills:
- Basic woodworking, measuring, and drilling
- Riveting and assembly of metal parts
- Epoxy work and fabric covering
- No welding or advanced machining required for a standard build
Mini-Max USA builder-assist support is available to help you finish.
Part 103 & Experimental+
The 1350SS Super Sport Coupe is typically completed and licensed as an Experimental Amateur-Built (E-AB) aircraft. Under the FAA 'major portion' (51%) rule, a homebuilt aircraft you build for education and recreation can receive a special airworthiness certificate in the Experimental Amateur-Built category.
- N-number registration and an airworthiness inspection are required before first flight.
- The builder of the major portion may apply for a Repairman Certificate for that aircraft.
- May be flown by Sport Pilot or Private Pilot certificate holders, depending on the aircraft and pilot.
- A low-cost, wood-and-fabric homebuilt — a practical way to build and fly your own airplane and accumulate flight time affordably.
Final category, eligibility, and operating limitations depend on your build, documentation, inspection results, and applicable regulations. You are responsible for registration, certification, and legal operation. No listing statement is an FAA determination.
Shipping & Returns+
Most in-stock items ship within 3–5 business days. Full aircraft kits and large or heavy items may ship by motor freight, and transit times vary.
