Fewer lines lead to less drag and an increase in glide performance. The final note of the MAVERICK 2 is “C”; is the result of the lesser note assigned in any of the tests. This means that no test was rated higher than „C“. -
Page 7: Technical Data
Risers MAVERICK 2 has 3 fold risers with acceleration system. Big and Small Ears are made easier by the separation of the A-risers. Simple launch behaviour, B-Stall, steering with the D-risers and an optimal geometry for accelerated flight were important aspects in the development of these risers. -
Page 8: Acceleration System
Page 8 Risers not accelerated Risers accelerated Acceleration system When you use the accelerator, the D-risers remain unchanged the C-, B and A- level aero design-related under the D-level at full acceleration. This decreases the angle of attack of the whole glider and increases speed. How to mount the acceleration system at the harness Put the ropes which are attached at the foot bar through the rings at the front right and left of the harness from the outside and then through the eyelets on the side. -
Page 9: Harness
This causes a reduction of the angle of attack of the whole glider and results to an increase of speed. Harness MAVERICK 2 certification is valid using any harness which has been categorized by the DHV “GH”. Harnesses with the category “GX” and other special single purpose harnesses are not recommended because of the cross-braced strapping which detracts from the ability to steer by weight shifting. -
Page 10: Launch
The canopy of the MAVERICK 2 is inflated quickly. Hold you arms out and up as an extension of the A-lines. When there is no pull from the lines and the wing is overhead, use slight pressure on the brake. -
Page 11: Landing
Landing The MAVERICK 2 is very easy to land. Always stand up in the harness in the landing position very early in order to be able to react as fast as possible to sudden events. Give yourself plenty of options and a safe margin of error. Set up your final landing leg to face into the wind to minimize groundspeed. -
Page 12: Ground Training
Page 12 Ground Training In order to get to know your MAVERICK 2, we recommend that you practise with your glider on the ground. Pulling up in flat gradients is great practise for fine tuning your launch techniques. Here you can get to learn the reactions of your glider without any stress and hectic. -

To initiate a spiral dive, look in the direction you want to go, roll your body weight in that direction and at the same time smoothly pull down on the inside brake. The MAVERICK 2 will start to turn, speed up and then drop into a spiral. To keep the... -

Deep / Parachute Stall Your MAVERICK 2 has been carefully designed to resist entering deep stall. If you pull strongly on the rear risers the MAVERICK 2 normally ends a deep stall independently when you release the rear risers. Before exiting a deep stall please ensure that the brakes are fully released. -
Page 16: Rain - Induced Deep Stall
Page 16 Rain-induced Deep / Parachute Stall There are two reasons why flying with a wet wing increases the risk of deep stalling: First reason is that the canopy cloth may absorb water, making it much heavier and moving the centre of gravity around in unpredictable ways, increasing the risk of a stall/deep stall. -
Page 17: Cravat
To exit a spin with your MAVERICK 2 just do “hands up” to release the brakes and the glider will return to normal flight. -

The performance of a wet glider can change significantly. How to pack your glider It is not necessary to pack the glider in a special way. ICARO paragliders recommends the following method: • The glider should be laid out neatly, the lines sorted, the risers stowed away either at the trailing edge or at the leading edge. -

30cm and 50cm. This way the material of the lower- and upper sail will not be stressed at the same area. • ICARO paragliders recommends not rolling in the glider material since different strains apply to the material. Through folding this can be avoided. -
Page 20: Overloading
Page 20 Overloading The MAVERICK 2 is a very strong paraglider. Flying all the descent manoeuvres will not normally pose a structural problembut aerobatic training does accelerate the ageing process dramatically. ICARO recommends having wings that are often used for training of descent manoeuvres (or aerobatics) subjected to checkups at shorter intervals than normally stipulated. -
Page 21: Inspection, Prerequisites And Personal Qualification
Page 21 Inspection, Prerequisites and Personal qualification After 200 flight hours or 24 months, it is important to have your MAVERICK 2 inspected by a trained ICARO technician. Without regular certified inspections, your glider will loose its certification and guarantee. -
Page 22: Terms Of The Guarantee
If the glider is not in great condition, the technician can decide to shorten the inspection interval time from 24 to 12 months. The technician must report any unusual faults to Fly & more Handels GmbH ICARO paragliders within 3 days. Inspection Reference Only an authorised technician who has been trained by Fly &... -
