The 1600R Sport is a well-rounded member of the Mini-Max family, offering a perfect balance of performance, weight, and buildability. With its mid-wing design and support for a range of lightweight two-stroke engines, the 1600R is ideal for pilots who want a little more speed and flexibility without moving into heavier, more complex territory.
Agile, responsive, and rewarding to fly—the 1600R keeps the building simple and the flying fun.
This aircraft is available in modular Mini-Kits, allowing you to build one section at a time—on your schedule and your budget. Each kit includes raw materials, fasteners, and essential structural components. You can start small or go all in.
Pre-Fabbed Parts will also be available separately to help speed up your build and simplify layout work.

The 1600R Sport is for builders who want that “just right” blend of performance and simplicity. It’s a great choice for weekend flyers, first-time builders looking for something a little more capable, or anyone wanting an efficient, mid-wing homebuilt with a proven heritage.
Our kits are priced with real-world builders in mind. Each Mini-Kit is calculated based on the ideal retail cost of every component—assuming no waste or surplus. We then discount that price by 10%, so you're saving both time and money.
