Review by: John Lewis
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

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!
