A simple path into aircraft building
A Mini-Max project can start small or move straight into a more complete kit path. Begin with plans, build one section at a time with Mini-Kits, choose a full aircraft kit, or contact Mini-Max USA for help matching the right model and kit path to your goals.

Pick a category, then a model. Plans, Mini-Kits, complete kits and layaway are on every model page.

See your layaway payment Ask about layawaySpread a complete kit over 12 to 36 months. Contact us for current layaway pricing.
Layaway is not financing and not a loan. Kit sections are released in stages as your cleared payments reach each release threshold, and the complete kit ships only after your final payment. Shipping, taxes and options are extra. Read the layaway terms.
Buy the plans first? Buy the same model's full kit, or pay its layaway down payment, within 60 days and we credit the price you paid for the plans. Request the credit before you pay for the kit.
Prefab quick-build and builder support
Some builders want to save time, improve consistency, or get help choosing the right path. Prefab quick-build options and builder support can help you move forward with more confidence.
Prefab quick-build options
Select prefab options may reduce build time and help make the project more manageable.
Builder assist estimates
Builder assist estimates help you understand possible support paths before choosing a kit.
Model selection help
Contact Mini-Max USA if you are not sure which aircraft family, kit path, or engine direction fits you best.
Prefab availability, builder assist, pricing, build times, and support options may vary by aircraft model and current availability.
How to choose the right path
The right starting point depends on how much you already know, how much shop space you have, and whether you want to spread the project out or move into a more complete kit package.
Choose plans if you are still researching
Plans are the best first step if you want to study the aircraft, understand the structure, and make a careful decision.
Choose Mini-Kits if you want to build gradually
Mini-Kits are a good fit if you want to spread out cost and build one major section at a time.
Choose a full kit if you know the model
A full aircraft kit is better if you have already chosen your aircraft and want the core kit sections together.
Contact us if you are unsure
Tell us your flying goals, budget, shop space, and experience level. Mini-Max USA can help you choose the next step.
