Mini-MAX 1103R Mini-Max Ultralight - Aircraft Mini-Kits
103R Mini-Max Ultralight – Ultralight Spirit, Proven Design
The 1103R Mini-Max Ultralight takes the time-tested Mini-Max airframe and adapts it for FAR 103 ultralight compliance, giving you all the charm and buildability of the original with no license or registration required. Light, agile, and surprisingly capable, it's a great way to experience real flight—legally and affordably.
Modular Mini-Kits – Build at Your Own Pace
The 1103R kit is available in modular Mini-Kits, allowing you to build each section individually at your own pace. Each kit contains raw materials, fasteners, and key components. Pre-Fabbed Parts will also be available separately to streamline your build process.

Kit Pricing Philosophy
We believe in transparent, builder-friendly pricing. Each Mini-Kit is calculated based on the ideal retail value of its parts assuming zero waste.
We then apply a 10% discount—and you also save money by avoiding excess materials.
When you purchase the full aircraft kit up front, we extend a 20% discount off total retail value—the best option for builders who want maximum value and a quicker path to the sky.
