Love aviation? So do we.
Av8r Capital Group exists because we love airplanes, building things and the people who keep aviation alive. We're building a family of aviation businesses around aircraft manufacturing, propulsion, builder support, distribution and the preservation of proven designs.
As we grow, we're always interested in meeting people who want to be part of that work. You don't need to wait for the perfect job posting. If you have skills, experience, ideas or simply a genuine passion for aviation, introduce yourself.
Builders, mechanics, engineers, storytellers.
- 01
A&P mechanics and IAs
Maintenance, inspections, assembly, technical support, builder assistance, aircraft work and flight-test support where appropriate. Not every maintenance role needs an IA.
- 02
Aircraft builders and fabricators
Wood aircraft construction, sheet metal, welding, machining, fabrication, assembly, finishing and general aviation manufacturing.
- 03
Engine builders and technicians
For ThrustCraft Performance: engine assembly, mechanical and component work, dyno work, installation, testing and development.
- 04
Engineering and CAD
Aeronautical and mechanical engineering, structures, CAD, manufacturing drawings, technical documentation, product development and compliance documentation.
- 05
Writers, media and marketing
Copywriters, technical writers, photographers, videographers, graphic and design people, social media — people who can tell an aviation story clearly. This one is intentional.
- 06
Operations, sales and customer support
Small aviation companies need people who understand builders, pilots and long-term customer relationships — and who like answering the phone.
- 07
Students and interns
Engineering, aviation, manufacturing, business, media and marketing students who want to see how airplanes and engines actually get made.
Small aviation companies need people who can wear more than one hat. If you think you can help us build aircraft, engines, companies or community, we'd still like to hear from you.
Experimental aviation exists because people share knowledge.
Approach us about
- Chapter builds
- Aircraft projects
- Educational builds
- Displays and events
- Builder programs
- Collaborations
Mini-Max USA has worked with builders for four decades and runs a builder-assist program at the Niles facility. If your chapter is thinking about a build, that is a good place to start the conversation.
We also steward the ETLB builder forum at IsonAircraft.com and its decades of Mini-Max, Hi-Max and AirBike builder knowledge. If your chapter is building one, that is where its builders are.
The next generation has to come from somewhere.
Conversations we welcome
- Educational builds
- Factory visits where appropriate
- Internships
- Projects
- Aviation education
- Builder and community programs
No program is promised here; every one of these starts with a conversation about what would actually work for your students and our shop.
Fly-ins, events and projects that need extra hands.
Our businesses are for-profit companies; production work is paid work. Community involvement here means genuine community activity — events, outreach, preservation and education.
Build something with us.
- Manufacturing partnerships
- Product development
- Distribution
- Suppliers
- Flight testing
- Engineering collaboration
- Dealer relationships
- Educational programs
- Builder programs
- Content and media
- Events
If you've got an idea that makes sense together, we'd rather have the conversation than miss it.
06 — Introduce yourself
Tell us who you are and what you'd like to do.
This is not an application. It is an introduction — from a person, a chapter, a school, a supplier or a potential partner. Pick the area that fits best and tell us a little about yourself or your organization.
Other doors into the family.
- 01
Acquisitions
For aviation companies and designs that need a future — founders, heirs and owners who want the airplane to keep flying.
- 02
Opportunities
For airports, properties, communities and strategic opportunities that could give our businesses room to grow.
