Mini-Max videos

Wondering if it is possible to build this thread as a compendium of Max videos available on Youtube. Of course you can search for Max videos on youtube itself, but I have seen all Max videos do not show up in the results. Videos list at random in each search, possibly the result of some algorithms tracking the user's viewing profile.

ULBuilder has uploaded some videos on to Youtube.
He was an active member of ETLB when building his Max.

We are starting out with videos that are easy finds on the web.
If we persist, and make sure we don't post duplicates,
we may be able to unearth more rare videos in due course.

Keith, thanks for the mention.

Watch this video on a smart phone, you can turn the phone and look around as if you are sitting in the cockpit.

I've since found a much better place to mount the camera and plan to make another much better video like this soon.

59NM is the farthest I've traveled from my home airport:

Between work, kids, flying the MiniMax and building a Fisher Dakota Hawk I don't find much time to hang around ETLB but try to drop in every few months. Such a great community here!

Too many to list individually, but I have a playlist with a over 550 Mini-Max videos:

That is a great play-list that you have built up. Thanks for sharing.

A prime reason for creating this thread is to pony up some activity in the group, and generate some traffic. Otherwise it is disappointing for a member to log into the group and then see no activity ( save for the crickets chirping ! )

So I guess we will continue posting some videos. ( We could even steal a few links from your exhaustive collection !! )

Yeah I added every single video I could find to that playlist so there's honestly a lot of not so great videos to wade through. It would definitely be worth posting a direct link here to some of the more worthwhile videos. I'll swing by again later and post a link to a couple of my favourites. I might do a sort of "this is my fave takeoff/landing video, my fave flight, and my fave WTF moment" or something like that haha

Great to see the videos. As I'm in the building process, I'm interested in video or photos of planes under construction.

Decent engine out landing. A little hard maybe but considering the circumstances...cant argue at all. Lucky the field was recently harvested. I recall seeing an old thread here from quite a few years ago where someone lost their engine and similarly came down in a field but with a full crop. As I recall it gripped and the plane flipped.
