Maverick
(Murphy)
The Murphy Maverick which was
introduced in 1993 is a smaller, yet different version of the Rebel
using many of the same construction materials and techniques. The
craft is one of the few that can be flown comfortably on the 503
Rotax engine. The fuselage is all metal, and the wing and tail
sections are metal with fabric covering. Two wings are available in
lengths of 29' 5" and 32' 5".
The Maverick is a side by side seating two place taildragger, in a
tractor configuration. The cabin while comfortable seemed a little
tight for two hefty pilots or pilots dressed for winter conditions
in Canada.
The factory reports testing to +5.7 and -3.8 G's. Building times
reported at just over 1,000 hours.
