Hello,
It's the first time I write on the forum, but I read all the threads. Thanks for the support about all technical details!

I recently completed a Minimax (I will post pictures soon) but I'm Italian and to obtain the registration numbers they ask a technical report with calculations and dimensioning of the structure. I don't have it but some friends talk to me that on Minimax there is all the documentation...but I don't know where...

Thanks

Yes it does exist.  i thought I had a copy, but can't find it right now. Someone will have one.

A design structural analysis..

Hi Lapo, you may also get details from the UK LAA (Light Aircraft Association). The Minimax was approved for building under their permit scheme and perhaps those details may help with the Italian authorities?

The original stress report for the R1100 Minimax is here: http://www.lonesomebuzzards.com/cgi-bin/forum/Blah.pl?v-download/f-minimaxstressanalysis_7196.pdf/

Thank you very much. that's what I need.
There is something similar for the V Max?

I'm not aware of any other disseminated reports for the later models.  It may be that any engineering of the later models relied on the work done for this report.  Factoring loads for increased gross weight, for example.
