Winona Experiment
The Winona Experiment was an attempt to rekindle an interest in aviation in young people.  Max wanted to conduct the experiment in Winona although others did not consider Winona the best choice. Over a period of 13 weeks, boys and girls were to construct a full-size aircraft under Max's supervision.  Material was donated by manufacturers and the Winona city council have approved rent-free space at the municipal airport. The program was to serve as a model for a nationwide program, still Max could not afford to keep the program going without a steady income.
