Summary of flying

The Maverick is exactly what it claims to be. A lightweight well engineered, titanium frame and chassis. Fitted with the Moster plus, the Maverick is a brilliant all rounder, ideal for cross country due to its comfortable seating position and lack of torque steer. It is also ideal for freestyle based flying thanks to the grunt from the Moster engine.

If you’re looking for British engineering in a lightweight yet powerful combo suitable for a wide variety of flying then look no further.
