“I set up a 16 foot long work bench in my living room and dining room area… You can actually build these in your house because I did it…Once I had everything done and built i went out and found hangar space. That plane was just SO MUCH FUN to fly!

“Mini-Max Serial Number #16, the yellow and orange 1100R, that is shown being flown by Harold Little in the original factory home-grown video tape, was my first plane that got me into flying 36 years ago! I’ve owned a few max’s since and also built a 1600R! Great machines!”

“It was a beautiful evening to get the VMAX out for a 40 minute flight. I'm now in my 17th year of flying minimaxes and with over 3000 hours in mostly ultralights and experimentals I can honestly say there is no sweeter flying light plane than a minimax, must be why over 700hrs of my time are in them and I've always had one in the hangar. Wayne Ison designed a great little plane.”

“Of all the airplanes that I've ever owned, I've owned 26 so far, that little Mini-Max (1600R) is in my memory bank as probably the funnest airplane that I ever flew. I can just unequivocally state that I hated to lose it. I hated to let it go. But I had another fellow that fell as madly in love with it as I was. And so, he ended up with it.” —
“I’m really excited about that airplane. I may do another one, I don’t know.”
