JDT Mini-MAX 1500R "Sport" is wood and fabric ultralight, sold as a kit for homebuilders, that is in production for over 30 years. The name itself reflects the basic concept. A Minimum of cost, time or skill, a Maximum of pleasure and performance (the cost of complete aircraft is about $9000). Model 1500R was designed for 40 hp Rotax 447 double-stroke engine and has 560 lbs max take-off weight, max level speed 75 mph, sea-level climb speed 1000 fpm, max range up to 120 miles (can be extended three-fold with aux tanks). This FSX native model uses latest sim features and will not work in FS9. All moving parts including pilot are animated. VC uses 3D smooth gauge technology and there are popup panles for GPS, com radio and transponder. Also included are custom sounds by Bill Lyons. The shortcomings: FDE is not too good, engine temp gauges are seemingly stuck, airspeed gauge is very inaccurate below 50 mph (indicated stall speed is about 39 mph while it's 31 actually). In all, a pretty nice aircraft for buzzing around low and slow.
