The Mini Coupe made its first flight in 1971 and was certified in 1972. By late 1975, approximately 150 sets of plans had been sold. The Mini Coupe is a lightweight all-metal single-seat sporting aircraft powered by a 65-hp modified Volkswagen 1,600cc engine. Its wings are of constant-chord design with all-metal stressed-skin construction, metal ailerons, and no flaps or trim tabs. Its landing gear is the non-retractable tricycle type with oversize tires. The single-seat can be either covered by a canopy or open. Plans are now sold by DCS, Inc.
