A closer look at the Mini Me...

The Mini Me was designed by Steve Thomas with the help and advice of several other homebuilders and designers and built in Steve’s garage. The first ten hours of flight-testing has determined the wing to be used on the flight to be the Thunderbolt E-310. The 310’ elliptical wing combined with the large prop on the tiny single cylinder engine flies along at 27 mph airspeed at a gross weight of 450 pounds and burns less than 1.5 gph of fuel.
