A 14" wide fuselage and your legs out in the windstream? Are you crazy?! Well, yes we are! Crazy about flying this unique aircraft with it's wide open cockpit and fantastic visibility.
With it's heritage tracing back to our original Airbike, the AeroMax is our newest design and some say our most fun. Similar to a motorcycle or Jetski, the pilot doesn't just sit in a cockpit, he/she "wears" the aircraft! Wave at your friends, smell the ocean and explore the countryside in the AeroMax. What a blast! It's the perfect warm-weather airplane. And when the weather gets cooler just bundle up and keep flying. They drive snowmobiles in the winter, don't they?
Check out the photos below. Doesn't that look like fun? The AeroMax is guaranteed to put a smile on your face!
Here are some of the standard features of the AeroMax:
The AeroMax has the most advanced kit in its class, with pre-fabricated metal components and CNC Laser-cut plywood parts. They're not only cut to shape, but are also laser marked with the part number, orientation in the airframe and the required fasteners. Now that's a real time saver! With the AeroMax kit you save time 3 ways: The parts are pre-fabricated, they fit perfectly and there is much less "head-scratching" as you try to figure out how everything goes together.
Because of this ingenious construction method plans are not available or even required. All you need is the AeroMax construction manual.
Plan on doing a lot of "off-airport" landings? Then ask about our Tundra Tire option. With those big fat soft wheels and the AeroMax's slow stall speed you can land just about anwhere. And soon we hope to offer a float option for water operation.
