MAVERICK² - Only the best is good enough…

April 1, 2011 ...this is why we ask you for your understanding that despite the season having started the Maverick² is not quite ready yet. The production of the size “M” is running at full speed. Due to the decision to develop a completely new construction in compliance with the newest, technical EN C gliders of this generation we had to work very hard. We could not or hardly go back to the experienced data. Now we are more then proud of our new ICARO paraglider and we can assure you: „It is worth waiting for every minute!” Here some important information for you: The time schedule: The Maverick² in size M should be delivered shortly after Easter. This is including all gliders already ordered. The sizes S & L are still in the certification process. More detailed information is given out as soon as they have been finalised. Pilots who give us their trust in advance (up to the 30th April 2011) or have already done so will receive a cell pack sack „free of charge“ when sending the order confirmation of the dealer/flight school.
