1987 Mini-Max 1100R Hi-Max Conversion – Serial #124

1987 Mini-Max 1100R Hi-Max Conversion – Serial #124

This 1987 Mini-Max 1100R Hi-Max Conversion is a rare opportunity to own an early Mini-Max aircraft with classic Hi-Max-style character, low reported time, and simple single-seat ultralight flying appeal.

Built before the later Hi-Max 1700R became its own model designation, this aircraft represents an early high-wing Hi-Max-style configuration from the Mini-Max family. It is a clean, well-kept example that has been stored indoors and shows the kind of craftsmanship and care that make these wood-and-fabric aircraft so special.

The aircraft is equipped with an installed Rotax 277 engine and is listed with only 3.3 reported total hours on the engine and airframe. With an estimated empty weight of approximately 250 lb, this aircraft appears to be a strong Part 103 ultralight candidate, subject to buyer verification of actual weight, configuration, fuel capacity, performance, equipment, and applicable regulations.

Why This Aircraft Stands Out

This is not just another used ultralight. Serial #124 is an early Mini-Max 1100R Hi-Max Conversion with a unique place in the Mini-Max family. It carries the simple, lightweight, efficient spirit that made Mini-Max aircraft popular with hands-on recreational pilots and wood-and-fabric aircraft enthusiasts.

The combination of a low-time airframe, installed Rotax 277 engine, indoor storage history, and early Hi-Max-style configuration makes this a standout aircraft for someone who wants a simple, affordable, single-seat flying machine without taking on a full kit build.

For the right buyer, this aircraft offers a faster path to the runway than starting from raw materials or a partially completed project.
