BVM Maverick Sport Jet
This is my second Maverick after the first one crashed due to a stalled servo
I found this old plane had a glow ducted fan, fan was removed and the jet restored as an electric ducted fan plane
lots of elbow grease, paint and filler and it became a really nice plane

I liked the look of my BVM Maverick but it needed something. So I came up with a few ideas, sent my request to Callie Graphics and presto, Maverick is now properly dressed
