Minimum Cost, Maximum Fun: Getting Started with Mini-Max & Hi-Max Aircraft
Advertisement
Coming to EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2026? Join Mini-Max USA on Monday in the Ultralight Forums Tent for a practical, beginner-friendly look at the Mini-Max and Hi-Max family of aircraft.
This forum is for anyone who has ever looked at a simple airplane and thought, “I’d love to build or fly something like that someday.”
We’ll talk about how affordable, hands-on aviation is still alive and well, and how small aircraft projects can make flying more accessible for pilots, builders, EAA chapter members, families, mentors, and first-time dreamers.
Topics will include:
What makes the Mini-Max and Hi-Max aircraft special
Why simple, lightweight aircraft still matter
Plans, kits, partial projects, and completed aircraft
How to think about budget, workspace, tools, time, and support
Common questions new builders should ask before getting started
The value of building an airplane you truly understand
This is not a technical deep-dive or a sales pitch. It is a welcoming conversation about getting started, asking the right questions, and discovering whether a Mini-Max or Hi-Max project might be the right path for you.
Bring your questions, bring a friend, and come talk airplanes with Mini-Max USA.
Minimum cost. Maximum fun. Real aviation, built one step at a time.
