Purchase Type

Get a serious jump-start on your Mini-Max 1030R build with this clean, well-started aircraft project. The fuselage is fully assembled, the light tail is complete, the wing ribs are built, and the wood components have already been varnished. The aircraft is on its wheels and ready for the next builder to continue the project without starting from square one.

This is an ideal opportunity for a builder who wants the satisfaction of completing a Mini-Max aircraft while saving months of early-stage construction work. It is also a strong candidate for someone who wants a simple, lightweight, wood-and-fabric aircraft project with Mini-Max USA support available.

Approximately 100 detailed build photos are available so buyers can review the workmanship, construction progress, and project condition before purchase.

Project Highlights

  • Mini-Max 1030R aircraft project
  • Fully assembled fuselage
  • Completed light tail
  • Wing ribs built
  • Wood components varnished
  • Aircraft is on its wheels
  • Approximately 100 build photos available
  • Saves months of build time compared with starting from a new kit
  • Great project for Mini-Max enthusiasts, homebuilt aircraft builders, and vintage ultralight fans
  • Available for pickup in Niles, Michigan

Why This Project Stands Out

The hard early work is already well underway. Instead of beginning with raw materials and first-stage assembly, the next builder can start from a project with major structural progress already completed.

The Mini-Max line is known for simple construction, efficient flying, wood-and-fabric craftsmanship, and accessible recreational aviation. This project keeps that spirit alive while giving the buyer a faster path toward completion.

Pricing and Completion Options

As-is pickup in Niles, Michigan: $12,999 OBO
With wings completely built and installed: $15,999 estimated
Covered and ready for engine: $18,499 estimated
Ready to fly: $21,999 estimated

Completion pricing is estimated and must be confirmed in writing based on final buyer requirements, parts availability, labor scope, configuration, and inspection needs.
