Description

The Maverick F5K is a new balsa kit for an electric DLG type model. This ia build-it-yourself model constructed from many balsa and carbon parts. It is not ready-built.

DLG type RC electric gliders have gained popularity in recently thanks to their compact size and great performance. The only drawback is that they are mostly of molded carbon construction and their high price point puts a strain on the wallet. Maverick changes this! It is a full-house 1.5-meter balsa kit that you can build yourself and join your local F5K competition!

Maverick features a 3-piece wing with a central section and removable wingtips. The fuselage is one piece with a classic cross tail that is also fully removable. So you can take your glider apart and pack it for easy transportation or storage.

The assembly guide is available here. For more details and building tips, please check this RCGroups thread on Maverick.

The Kit Contains
– All balsa and plywood parts
– A coloured 1:1 scale assembly plan
– Accessories pack that includes wing mounting bolts, nuts, pushrod material, GF control horns, pull-cables, torsion spring material, etc.
– Carbon tubes and rods required for assembly.
Covering film and 2x 450mm+ JR-style servo extensions are not included and should be purchased separately.

Maverick F5K

Until now I build the wing and the tailparts. Everything has a perfect fit. I am really happy with the result so far. The video's are really helpful.

Maravilloso

primera vez que compro un planeador y de verdad he quedado sorprendido del buen trabajo que se realizo, todo calza espectacular, los cortes son precisos y detallados. los videos de apoyo ayudan mucho en poder armarlo de buena manera y que todo calse y quede bien. dada la distancia Chile en 10 dias llego. ya quiero terminar de armarlo he ir a volar, muchas gracias y saludos a todo el equipo

kit and shipping totally great...fuse is easy, however you will need very small receiver(7 channels) perfect if you fly Frysky radio with their amazing receiver for DLGS..the wing construction must be done carefully, some very careful sanding at all trailing edges must be done avoiding delicate ribs..on YouTube video from Bravarian RC is very helpful..finished mine just today, 357grms auw with 20 grams in the nose for proper CG, Im glad I did this build and I'm very glad its finished..no maiden yet..to be continued

Sixty years ago I was carefully, some times, cutting out ribs and formers with a razor blade on a bread board. As an aero modeller many stick and tissue rubber models, control line, free flight, radio assisted old timer and RC sport aircraft and of course gliders have been built and flown. Only bought one ARF model toward the end of the 1990’s. As a builder and flyer that’s the joy in the hobby for me. The Maverick F5K kit was delivered in a couple of week to Australia, well packed and complete undamaged. The quality of the kit is outstanding, the best ever laser cutting, the blend of materials providing strength to critical areas while being ever weight conscious is a credit to Evgen and his team at Flight Point. The plans and construction manual are equally outstanding so to the posts relative to the Maverick F5K on RC groups.com. Might buy another one don’t tell my wife.

The Maverick glider that I ordered is nearly complete and I ordered the servos and motor to complete the model, once again my order was delivered the next day, that's service for you

Received the Maverick glider within 2 days excellent service this is another model from Hyperflight I will enjoy building as I did the Tango glider

Just starting the build and I have to say this kit rocks! Cutting is the best I’ve seen and the balsa is very light, so if you are all thumbs (like me) use care. Extremely pleased with one!
