Make one.

Actually Maule started in Napoleon, Michigan.

Paint over paint? Odd way to refurbish an aircraft today. Not disputing it just curious. Should be confirmed as source of red. Gary

Red paint caught my eye, too. The report said "all skiarresting cables, bungees, and rigging were intact and attached to their respective attach...

I'm sure the woman in the audience on her cell phone got a lot from the presentation.

There's a local Bearhawk side-side parked locally. Never seen it fly and waiting. Gary

BD Maule built the M4 10 years after the Pacer came out. Maule was basically just a Georgia hot rodder who decided that Pacer could use some more...

Any ideas on the wing failure yet? Control flutter for the right wing near the yellow arc? It's sad event. Gary

Aircraft was formerly orange and red. Old paint showing through. As noted, skis not damaged prior to impact: Page 3 of 5

TurboBeaver, you point out not to buy one with extended wings and unextended ailerons. Are extended wings WITH extended ailerons ok? Anything you...

If you look at the picture of the Copper Valley wreckage (ref in #2123), there appears to be some red color transfer (ski paint or vegetation?) near...

By a Maule!!:-P Frankly, so many great planes out there! Find the one that fits MOST of your missions the best.

Stir that pot lol.

Works for me now too.

In flight? I have not heard that to be common. I can see issues on the ground, clearly I have not kept up to date with skis breaking planes apart in...

Beat me to it..

Maybe they just wanted to answer the question so many were likely wondering about based on the Canadian accident.

Ski failure is the first thing most of us Skywagon guys thought of. There's a historical precedent and initially this report sounded familiar....

I find it a bit frightening when a preliminary report concentrates on the ski's while the outer wing is the first part down and the inner wing is...

Right wing separation? I hope the NTSB figures this one out sooner than later.

Do you mean a Maule was developed from a Pacer?

Piper? Pacer was designed by BD Maule... look at them compared to the M-4.

It seems a reasonable comparison, but some things I think should be stipulated and maybe add a few more tests later. First, if you do have an...

He was mostly just razzing me. Though that particular time I WAS way too high and had to slip aggressively. Agree. End up going faster...
