The Mini-Max Coupe models are the covered-cockpit branch of the Mini-Max family. They keep the practical wood-and-fabric build approach while giving pilots more protection from the wind, a more comfortable cockpit feel, and a better cross-season flying experience.
This family includes two-stroke, VW, and V-Twin style paths, plus the 1650R EROS for builders who want a refined covered-cockpit Mini-Max option between the 1600R and the 1650V V-Max Coupe.
The classic covered-cockpit Mini-Max Sport path with two-stroke engine options and simple Mini-Max construction.
A refined covered-cockpit Mini-Max option placed between the 1600R and 1650V in the Coupe family.
A V-Max Coupe path with VW-style power and a higher-power kit direction.
A V-Twin Sport Coupe option for builders comparing the newer V-Twin powered family.
The Super Sport Coupe option with a wider cockpit and stronger V-Twin performance direction.
The Coupe family is about Mini-Max simplicity with more cockpit protection, comfort, and cross-season flying potential.
More protection from wind and weather than the open-cockpit Speedster family.
A more comfortable option for pilots who want to fly beyond the warmest months.
