The 1850V SuperMax Low Wing is the big-power Mini-Max path for builders who want VW reliability, more cockpit width, and a stronger airframe while keeping the practical wood-and-fabric construction that makes Mini-Max aircraft approachable.
The 1850V SuperMax Low Wing is the heavy-duty member of the Mini-Max family. It keeps the familiar single-seat, wood-and-fabric building experience, then adds a stronger structure, a wider cockpit, and VW-compatible power for pilots who want more capability than the lighter Mini-Max models.
This page is for builders who want a sportier, more muscular Mini-Max path. The 1850V focuses on 4-stroke reliability, big-sky cruising, and practical homebuilt construction without stepping away from the simple Mini-Max philosophy.
Built around more cockpit room, stronger structure, and more engine capability.
