PILOT'S FEEDBACK FOR MAVERICK

 

Uli Straßer, Team Pilot

Even it being the third season of the MAVERICK it still belongs to the group of the LTF 2/EN C gliders in all aspects including safety and performance.

Its extremely easy starting behaviour is important to me in order to get up in the air even when the conditions are not ideal (especially when flying in higher alpine regions).

I do not think that there is much more to add to its performance because the 220 km plus in triangle flights say all that needs to be said. But the extraordinary thing really is that the MAVERICK has unbelievable security reserves. Even when flying in very turbulent conditions you don’t work up a sweat at all. It is a great advantage to be able to concentrate fully on the flight itself, tactics and the weather and that there is no need to bother about the canopy staying open. For the MAVERICK you could use a well known saying used in the IT-sector: “set it and forget it”. I would only change it to: “start it and enjoy it”.

Nobody knows what the paragliding developments will create next but the MAVERICK does not need to hide from the most up to date gliders in construction and performance.
