The Mini was based on the JT-1 with a larger chord wing, a fully enlclosed cockpit and removable wings. The aircraft was all-metal low-wing single seater with conventional landing gear. The prototype aircraft featured a Messerschmitt paint scheme. Power came from a 1300cc Volkswagen air-cooled engine that would be the basis for most of Monnett's future designs.[1]
The Mini was introduced at the Experimental Aircraft Association airshow in 1970. Monnett was not pleased with the aircraft and shortly thereafter built the VW-powered Sonerai I design, introduced in 1971.[2]
