There is a Vmax (the VW powered version) just completed in Cape Town, I think it is based at Morningstar.

The reg is ZU-FJG, and from a photo I saw it looks like the builder put in a 503 or a 582, which would bring it back to being a Minimax.

Would rather have built the MiniMax
Very nice single seater wood Aircraft.

Hi attaltitude,

I'm building a Mini-Max Eros. Bought some kit parts and plans
3 years ago and did not work on it until a month ago when it
bit me again. Just left the garage after a good sanding session.

I don't have much to show yet apart from the stack of ribs completed
but if you need information let me know.

Colin.
