The 1450SS Hi-Max Super Sport full aircraft kit ships as a model-specific package with builder-selectable kit levels, so you buy exactly the amount of prefab work you want for your homebuilt aircraft.

• Base Kit — the standard full aircraft kit package.
• Kit with Prefabbed Wing Ribs — adds prefab wing ribs to save build time.
• Kit with Prefab Wing Ribs and Prefab Metal Parts — the most complete level, adding prefab ribs and prefab metal parts.

Not included unless listed

Engine, propeller, instruments, avionics, battery, wiring, covering, paint, upholstery, shipping, assembly labor, registration, certification, inspection, and training are not included unless the product page or invoice specifically says so.

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.

The 1450SS Hi-Max Super Sport 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.

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.
