Wow! that's almost too nice to cover.

All good things have to come to an end...  

Quoted from aeronut

WOW !!!  That is fantastic !!! I hope the covering goes well cause the FLYING  will be an awesome reward.

Thank you aeronut, I can't wait!

Quoted from beragoobruce

This just has to be the best MiniMax ever made. The craftsmanship is truly superb. Well done, Reto, you must be a rightly proud & happy man!

Sincere congratulations, & I look forward to seeing her covered and flying very soon.

Bruce

Thank you Bruce, but you got it all wrong; you are the true craftsman!

Quoted from Ricardo

Congratulations Reto, hat a Superb job!!! You and Bruce, from Australia, have built show room aircrafts.

Thank you Ricardo, remember the pictures you have sent to me (a long time ago) of your beautiful Max at the same building stage? That was the inspiration I needed...

Quoted from LSaupe

More than impressive.  It will be a shame to cover that fabulous workmanship!

Thank you for your kind words...

Hi Reto:

Any updates?  Probably mostly covered by now?

Such an inspirational build!

Reto:
Where did you put the battery?

Hi Reto:

Any updates?  Probably mostly covered by now?

Hi LSaupe,

Unfortunately all got delayed again due to some health issues. Managed to import protective breathing equipment from Axxispro (fullface mask & constant flow). I will cover using the PolyFiber system and therefore had to replace the original Dracon with "PolyFiber light" cover material. I start covering this week...  

Cheers,
Reto

Such an inspirational build!

Reto:
Where did you put the battery?

Hi Ricardo,
Horizontally under engine mounting plate, all veeery tight...
First picture: Re-enforced battery box, fuselage construction upside down
Second picture: Seen from the front
Cheers,
Reto

Thanks Reto. That was quite a job.

Reto,

How is that air system working for you?  Do a good job against any fumes?

Hi LSaupe,
Apologies for veery late reply.
Yes, it works, need to get used to it though.
The covering progress is rather slow due to constant distractions (car and many other things need fixing)...
Cheers,
Reto

Reto:

Any progress this summer?

Hi Reto:

Just doing an annual check-in.  Have you been able to get back at this project and any progress to report?

Hi Reto S
I don't want to make your head swell, but that is one gorgeous MiniMax!! Construction and finish is outstanding and beautiful. You will like the Hirth engine. They are very reliable. I can't wait to see the paint job. Love the way you closed in the aileron slot an trailing edge of the wing. Keep animals and bugs out. Keep us posted.

I know it has been a few years, but wanted to touch base.  Has this bird made it to the air yet?
