The aircraft is made from bolted-together aluminum tubing, with its single surface wing covered in Dacron sailcloth. Its 31.5 ft (9.6 m) span wing is supported by streamlined struts, in place of the more commonly used cables and kingpost. The Maverick is controlled with a conventional weight-shift "A" frame control bar. In 2008 the aircraft was improved with a folding wing pylon and increased baggage space. In 2009 it received a higher gross weight from 550 to 650 lb (249 to 295 kg).[1][4]
The strut-braced wing provides a number of advantages over the traditional cable braced wing, including reduced overall height for hangaring, reduced drag and improved appearance.[1]
Older Maverick models may be brought up to Maverick 2 standards with a factory-supplied conversion kit.[5]
