Hello everyone,
I’ve recently picked up what I believe to be an older “original” Mini-Max. I acquired it out in western Iowa from a gentleman who said he was the third owner.
Unfortunately, I don’t know much about its history, so if any of you recognize this plane, I’d love to hear what you know! What I do see is the quality of workmanship that went into building it, and I really think she deserves to be in the air again.
The Rotax 377 runs strong and healthy, and from my inspections so far it looks like the proper glue was used—the joints I’ve checked are still solid as the day they cured.
