Who said BVM wasnt happy with it ? The guy from England was critcal of the airfoil which in my opnion is ridiculous. This is one of the easiest and best flying DF jets EVER. They make a great Turbine powered model as well but the wing loading does get a little high.
Hello, it's the guy from England here.
Until I sold it on, I had a Maverick turbine and also flew it hundreds of times including some at the 2002 FIJR. I agree that in its time it was the best all-round jet available so I'm not saying the Maverick was a bad plane, I'm just saying that things have moved on a long way since then and although there are a few die hards who would buy one if BV did re-introduce it, 99% of people who wanted that type of plane would buy the better flying Bandit or Electra . If the airfoil was up to scratch then it would not have needed droops to keep it from tip stalling and would still be used by BVM today.
