Have any of you put Mini Max wings on their Legal Eagle Ultralight?

I've wondered about this as well.  It seems like there must have been 10000 Minimax kits built, so the wings are pretty easy to find.  Airbike or Highmax wings might be even better.  I'd personally like to get rid of the cables for the ailerons, and like the way the Airbike handles the full length ailerons with push pull tubes. There would almost have to be some difference in the wing attachment points, but nothing that should be too difficult.

I believe it has been done... yes they are both very similar... However, from what I understand, some of the issues the minimax wing had are corrected with the half aileron...just fyi...

Not 100% sure but I don't think any Ison designed Ultralights use direct push-pull controls save for the Airbikes. 

The rest use teleflex cables for aileron and elevator control.

No teleflex cables for me please...

Btw,  I hear the full span ailerons are very heavy.
