Hi-Max 1700R – High-Wing Comfort Meets Classic Mini-Max Simplicity
The Hi-Max 1700R is the high-wing evolution of the original Mini-Max line—designed for greater headroom, better visibility, and easier cockpit access. With its elevated wing position and roomy feel, it’s perfect for relaxed cruising, off-field flying, and taller pilots looking for a more comfortable experience.
It’s still simple, still wood-and-fabric, and still proudly homebuilt—but with extra space where it matters most.
Modular Mini-Kits – Spacious, Step-by-Step, Builder Friendly
The 1700R is available in modular Mini-Kits, allowing you to build your aircraft section by section, at your own pace. Each kit includes raw materials, fasteners, and structural components specific to that section. Whether you’re easing into the build or going full throttle, the Mini-Kit system supports your timeline.
Pre-Fabbed Parts will also be available separately for select kits, offering increased precision and reduced build time.
