1550V V-Max - Aircraft Mini-Kit

from $819.99

1550V V-Max – Built for VW Power and Big-Sky Cruisin’

The 1550V V-Max is a rugged evolution of the Mini-Max line, purpose-built to pair with 4-stroke VW engines. With slightly longer wings and a reinforced tail group, the V-Max delivers smooth handling, solid performance, and a more confident experience for backfield flyers and long-range cruisers alike.

It’s still light, still simple, and still full of that classic Mini-Max charm—but with upgrades designed for pilots who want more power, longer legs, and the purr of four-stroke reliability.

Modular Mini-Kits – Reinforced, Flexible, Builder-Friendly

The 1550V is available in modular Mini-Kits, so you can build your aircraft one section at a time. Each kit contains the raw materials, hardware, and structural components needed for that part of the aircraft. It’s a practical way to build on your own schedule—whether you’re pacing your time, your shop space, or your budget.

Pre-Fabbed Parts will also be available separately for select kits, helping you save time and gain precision.

👤 Who It’s For

The 1550V is for builders who want more than ultralight—pilots who love wood-and-fabric construction but want 4-stroke power, VW reliability, and extra wing for smoother landings and longer flights. It’s ideal for those seeking sportier performance without sacrificing the hands-on joy of scratch building.

💵 How We Price Our Kits

We price every Mini-Kit based on the ideal retail value of its components, assuming zero waste and maximum material efficiency.

We then apply a 10% discount—and because you avoid surplus or overbuying, you save even more in real-world costs.

Buying the full aircraft kit up front? You’ll receive a 20% discount off retail across the board—our best value for builders ready to go all in.
