I'm recently back to the hobby with my 6 year old son and building a TLP Maverick next. I've read many TLP threads and plan on keeping it a light build. My only planned deviations are as follows. 1) Papering the small back fins for a bit of strength as they will hit the dirt first. 2) adding a pair of light nylon rail buttons opposite the launch lug. 3) thinking of adding a drilled out bulkhead disc ahead of the paper disk they instruct you to add 6" back of the nosecone to act as a baffle and shock cord mount, probably still wrap the chute in a sheet of wadding for safety. Other than that I'm a fan of wood glue fillets and spray paint, no epoxy and bondo for this. I want it stable on D12s and tough enough to go up to E or maybe a G someday with more experience.
I have a TLP Bullpup waiting in the wings too.
Can't find a video anywhere of someone flying their Maverick?
