Ultralight Aircraft Magazine - Mini Max - The Team Mini Max is a part 103 legal ultralight aircraft. It is a mid wing, strut braced, tractor configuration, taildragger. Controls are standard three axis, with a sender mounted stick and left hand throttle.
It was first introduced to the ultralight market in 1984. He Mini Max can be built from plans, or from kit form. The Mini Max is constructed from wood using wood truss and plywood gussets, covered in standard aircraft material. Building times are reported to be between 150 and 300 hours. No special tools are required and the aircraft can be built in the space of a single car garage.
To comply with the ultralight aircraft weight limit in the United States it is necessary to use a light weight single cylinder, two stroke engine such as the Rotax 277, or Hirth F 30. Properly cared for, the Max-103 will give you decades of flying enjoyment. And you'll have the deep sense of pride knowing you built this fine aircraft yourself. The low kit price includes a curved turtledeck, engine cowl and prop spinner for sporty good looks.
Mini Max Ultralight
It's designed for great performance powered by a single-cylinder engine in the 28-30 HP range. Please do not attempt to install a larger, more powerful engine. This will exert excess stress on the airframe and put it over the Part-103 weight limit. If you really want a lot of power we have many great E-AB designs: the 1500 or 1600 Sport, Eros, V-Max or AeroMax. But if you want to build and fly the best ultralight on the market, the Max-103 is the plane for you!

TEAM Mini Max EROS Aircraft Specifications And Images
The Eros uses is set up to use more powerful engines than the standard Team Mini-Max. In order to accommodate this, changes have been made to the structure of the aircraft to handle the extra power, flying and landing loads.
The EROS was designed for pilots who love to fly, and you can certainly say it's attractive! The Eros is the evolution of years of light plane design.
It has features like Heavy duty airframe, for large guys and large engines.
24" wide enclosed cockpit
Steel tube landing gear no cross-axle
Easily removable wings
Streamlined cowling, fully-enclosed engine
Molded wingtips
Wheel brakes
Outstanding short field performance
In addition to all these standard features, the Eros has some pretty neat options. Like a convertible canopy. You can fly in an enclosed cockpit during cold weather or open cockpit when the temperature is a little warmer. Wheel pants "spats" to our friends in the UK and Oz really dress up the looks. And you can add a second wing tank to double the range.
The Eros built by Larry Isreal, won the Oshkosh Reserve Grand Champion Award in 1995. And Davy Lee Cooper's Grand Champion at Sun 'n Fun '98. 1650R Eros Specifications Build time 325-400 hours
