Here is a video of some fun in my MiniMax 1600R "Busy Beigh". I am getting used to the aircraft and am beginning to find myself a bit more comfortable with it. Enjoy, and thanks for watching!

Sean,
Thanks for the excellent video. Looks like you are handling the Max very well. Out of curiosity what tail wheel are you using?

Thank you Dick. I replaced the tailwheel with part #06-00067 from Aircraft Spruce. It is just like the one that came on the MiniMax (from the 1999 kit). It's on the steel spring, also from TEAM, with a compression spring on either side for some forgiveness on the pavement.

Glad your having fun with your MAX as that is what it is all about. FUN!

Thank you gentlemen. I find the MiniMax to be incredibly fun to fly! Mr. Is on did an outstanding job!!! It seems as though I'll be holding off on a SuperMax to build the two place coming around the corner. Then I can share the fun with others!
