The 1650R EROS is the Mini-Max path for builders who want speed, style, and a more performance-oriented solo aircraft. It pairs a sleek mid-wing layout with practical wood-and-fabric construction and a kit path that can scale from plans to a full aircraft kit.
The 1650R EROS is the sleek, performance-focused Mini-Max for builders who want a faster single-seat aircraft while keeping the practical wood-and-fabric building experience that defines the Mini-Max family.
This page is for pilots who want a sportier Mini-Max path: a refined mid-wing layout, higher cruise performance, and a kit structure that can still be approached through plans, sub-kits, a full aircraft kit, or prefab quick-build support.
The 1650R is the speed-oriented Mini-Max path, built around a sleek single-seat mid-wing profile.
The verified workbook lists a 700 lb max gross weight, 325 lb useful load, and 118 square feet of wing area.
Start small with plans, build in stages with sub-kits, or move directly into the full aircraft kit path.
The 1650R EROS keeps the Mini-Max project hands-on and approachable while giving sport-minded builders the fastest, sleekest single-seat Mini-Max path in the lineup.
The verified workbook lists 95 MPH top speed, 80 MPH cruise, and a 1500 FPM climb rate for the 1650R EROS.
The EROS profile is built for builders who want a cleaner, sportier Mini-Max look and responsive handling.
Workbook engine options include Simonini Victor 1 Super, Hirth F-23, Rotax 503, and Rotax 582.
A larger sport-aircraft envelope than the lighter Mini-Max models, with a verified 325 lb useful load.
