Glad that you got it dialed in. Have you heard of the Pacer 13XT wing? I think this is the new version and rated at 650 lbs.
How comfortable do you feel you will get with the light handling/low feedback from the bar? Thinking of selling a three axis UL and moving into a Maverick 2 with new pacer wing. I have a few hours in trikes and want to fly about 52 to 55 as I do now in the quicksilver MX.
Do you plan on going to trikefest? Would like to see the mav 2 as it is 9 inches longer than the original.
Tim,
We finally got the Maveric flying like we wanted.
We ended up turning the tips up about 2 mm.
It was so touchy in roll, turing the tips up setteled it down.
The wife flew it and said it was much better.
We just need good weather now.
The Pacer wing is still rated at 550 Lbs gross the new Maveric wing has a new gross weight of 650 Lbs.

We flew the the Pacer wing last Sunday.
It had a slight right turn so we relaxed the batten strings on # 4&5 battens on the left wing and this fixed the turn....
The wing is very light in control.. we seemed to be over controlling (chasing the wing)
I called Kamron and he has given 4 different things to try to take care of this.
The winds won't lay down around here..we're waiting for the right evenings untill we get things worked out.
