I Love the JDT MiniMax
My Name is Dayle Medley and I am going to share with you my love of the JDT MiniMax Light Sport Aircraft.
This Sport Pilot Airplane was designed by Wayne Ison. It is a wood framed Home built Airplane that is covered with cloth and painted.
My Love of this little Airplane began 7 years ago and I want to tell you this Small Airplane won my heart.
Easy to Build and Fun to Fly
The name JDT Mini-MAX says it all
Easy to Build and Fun to Fly!
A Minimum cost aircraft, requiring a Minimum of building space, time or skill. A "Maximum" high of pure pleasure and performance.
The cost of building your own airplane may be less than you think!... with time tested and proven designs from JDT Mini-MAX Aircraft. They have helped put hundreds of "New Builder/Owners" into the air... a "first time feeling" that you can only experience by being up there proudly flying your own, self-built aircraft. From Ultralights to Microlights to Experimental Aircraft... JDT Mini-MAX can get you into the air for a small amount of time and money.

- Hey, yes, I'm a mini-max lover. I built an EROS mini-max 1650 in 1999 and am still flying it; it fact I flew it today. Keep it at Merritt Island Airport, Florida. Busy field as they are training all Air India pilots. But it is lots of fun. I'm on my second 503 w/dual carbs; if I can be of any assistance to anyone, let me know. I "ain't been there and done it all", but after 20 years of USAF Avionics Maintenance and 28 years of flying, I've seen a little bit of it.

Final Flight Of The Mini Max

I am sad to report that my flying days are finished. I took my final flight in the intrepid little Mini Max and while approaching for a landing, I suffered a heart attack.
Not only have my flying days ended, but, I destroyed this beautiful little plane. It is and will be missed.
