Mini-Max 1100R
Basic UltraLight Motorized welcome to the world of low-budget flying
This ultralight is a classic one. The Mini-Max has been available since the 80's. There are a lot of versions of the Mini-Max. Two ultralights (103 and 1100) and the others have a few options (closed cockpit for instance) which make them just a bit too heavy to be ultralight.
I am sure. For each taste a version available.
The site of the manufacturer says the following about the Mini-Max 1100R:

I got this construction picture of a person who mailed it to me. But ... I forgot his name. If you know the owner of this Hi-Max wing, please, let him contact me again. I want to give him the earned credit for this picture.
