Sheet metal, Fabric |
The craft is one of the few that can be flown comfortably on the 503 Rotax
engine. The fuselage is all metal, and the wing and tail sections are metal with fabric
covering. Two wings are available in lengths of 29' 5" and 32' 5".
The Maverick
is a side by side seating two place taildragger, in a tractor configuration. The cabin
while comfortable seemed a little tight for two hefty pilots or pilots dressed for winter
conditions in Canada.
The factory reports testing to +5.7 and -3.8 G's. Building times
reported at just over 1,000 hours.

A T.U.F. VIEW
The Maverick performs quite well on the 503, but why bother, when you will eventually be
loading it down with extra fuel, electric start, floats etc. Cruise with the 582 is 80
m.p.h., climb an honest 1,000 per minute, and stall around 35 at gross.
This is one great little aeroplane and
deserves high marks for its design, strength and performance figures.
