I guess I only flew them with flaps. I found it to have a very tame and predictable stall, much MUCH slower and tamer than my Ultra Viper. The wing leading edge droops made the Mav basically stall proof, well, it would stall but it was impossible to make it drop a wing tip. I tend to think you had yours balanced too far aft or just had too much elevator and tried to fly it too slow ( too high of an angle of attach). Or was yours perhaps way on the heavy side ? I thought ALL Mavericks called for flaps ? The regular Mavericks had the split flaps and the Mav Pro's had comventional type flaps.
