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.

- Several years ago I visited the factory to look at the Airbike, that was a cool airplane.
I hope you are doing well, sorry to hear of your accident. Take care.

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.
