Mini-Max USA Builder Assist
Bring Your Mini-Max Dream to Reality.
Work on your Mini-Max aircraft alongside factory-trained builders at our Niles, Michigan facility, with your project overseen by an Airframe & Powerplant Mechanic.
Build it here. Know it forever.
Bring your Mini-Max project to our Niles, Michigan facility and work alongside factory-trained builders with your project overseen by an Airframe & Powerplant Mechanic.
The fastest way to stop dreaming and start building.
Most aircraft projects do not fail because the builder stops caring. They stall because life gets busy, the workspace gets crowded, a step feels unclear, or the project reaches a point where the builder wants a second set of experienced eyes.
Builder Assist is designed to fix that. Instead of figuring out every step alone in a garage, you can bring your Mini-Max project to Niles, Michigan and work through the important stages with trained help beside you.
You will not just own a Mini-Max. You will know it.
Not hands-off. Hands-on, with help.
Builder Assist is not about taking the airplane away from the builder. It is about giving the builder the environment, guidance, tools, review, and confidence to keep moving.
You work on your aircraft alongside our team. We help organize the path forward.
