1600R Sport - Aircraft Mini-Kit
1600R Sport – Versatile, Balanced, and Ready to Roam
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.
Modular Mini-Kits – Flexible, Affordable, Straightforward
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.

👤 Who It’s For
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.
💵 How We Price Our Kits
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.
