The Murphy Maverick is a Canadian two-seat fixed-wing ultralight monoplane designed by Murphy Aircraft of British Columbia.[1] The type is sold as a kit for home construction or as a complete ready-to-fly aircraft.[2][3][4]
Development
Designed as a smaller version of the Rebel, the Maverick is an all-metal high-wing braced monoplane with two side-by-side seats and a tailwheel landing gear.[1] The aircraft was designed around the Rotax 503 powerplant, with the goal of producing an economical ultralight trainer.[5] As a homebuilt it can also be fitted with a number of different piston engines including the HKS 700, Rotax 582 and Jabiru 2200.[1][3][4][6]
The aircraft is mainly built from sheet aluminium, with the tail and rear sections of the wings fabric covered to save weight.[1][3] The wings are constructed using a "D" cell, with stamped ribs and a single wing strut. The standard wing span on the Maverick is Script error: No such module "convert"., but an optional wing extension is available to increase the wingspan to reduce the wing loading.[5]
The standard landing gear is of a taildragger configuration and bungee suspended, with sprung steel main gear as an option. Additional options include Script error: No such module "convert". wing-mounted fuel tanks and fittings for installing floats.[5]
