http://www.ultralightflyer.com – One of the most successful weightshift trike manufacturers over the past two decades is NorthWing. At Sun N Fun 2015 Kamron Blevins introduced his newly designed Maverick II Legend. The Maverick has been extended. This allows for storage behind the seat. Kamron indicated there is enough room "to put a sleeping bag, small tent or three gallon gas can".
The five gallon gas tank on the Maverick has also been redesigned, this allows "for installation of a BRS parachute closer to the center of gravity of the trike". This area is also enclosed which protects it from the elements, which would allow the installation of a soft pack parachute, which weighs and cost less.
According the Karon, "a stock Maverick makes the weight". Meaning it is compliant with Part 103, where a pilot does not need a license to fly, does not need a medical, and does not require registration.
The Maverick Legend II also has a new leaf spring suspension system. Which is lighter than the older suspension. The new suspension is cleaner, with less drag, giving the trike better fuel consumption in flight.
With the assistance of a small lifting jack, Kamron demonstrated how the Maverick landing gear can fold, with just the removal of bolts. Once folded it easily fits into the back of a standard size pickup truck, or van. Another unique feature is that each gear has a small wheel located on the end of it, allowing it to be easily rolled around if necessary.
All of the modifications that have been done to the new Maverick Legend II are available to owners if they want to update. The Maverick Legend II uses a 440 Kawasaki with a belt drive reduction system. The engine has both a pull start and is available with an electric start as an option.
With the five gallon fuel tank a pilot has just under two hours of flight time. If he carries a three gallon fuel can in the storage compartment this can be extended to three hours.
The Maverick Legend II on display in Paradise City, with electric start, a 440 Kawasaki engine, an EIS panel, ready to fly sells for less than $20,000.
NorthWing has been in business for over 19 years, has over 400 trikes flying and has sold over 3,000 "wings". How "3,000 wings"? NorthWing not only builds weight trikes it also builds hang gliders for the hang glider industry and trike wings for many of the major manufacturers.
