What the 1300S is

The 1300S 4-Stroke Sport Coupe is the covered-cockpit branch of the classic Mini-Max Sport idea. It keeps the compact single-seat, wood-and-fabric Mini-Max construction style while adding a more enclosed cockpit direction for builders who want more comfort and wind protection.

This page is for builders comparing the 1300S as a 4-stroke Coupe option. It keeps the same practical Mini-Max build philosophy, while giving the aircraft a more finished cockpit feel than the open-cockpit Speedster path.
