This classic Mini-Max 1100R was built before the Hi-Max 1700R became its own model (22” wide rather than 24”), making it an early and unique example of the Hi-Max configuration. It’s a beautifully kept aircraft that has always been stored indoors and shows the kind of care and craftsmanship that stand the test of time.
Built as an experimental, this Mini-Max 1100R Hi-Max Conversion is as simple and enjoyable as flying gets. With an estimated empty weight of around 250 pounds, it appears to meet Part 103 Ultralight requirements (though it has not been officially weighed). The aircraft is equipped with a Rotax 277 engine, known for its reliability and light weight, and is ready to go.
This is a great opportunity for anyone looking for an affordable, low-time ultralight that’s ready to fly with minimal fuss.
