The Maule MX7 was also the very first aircraft that I personally ever flew in and was my introduction into the amazing Aviation world. Visit Maule Air at: www.mauleairinc.com/

In the late 1980's, I was dating a gal in Mobile, who was from the Moultrie area. Her brother Lawrence was the test pilot/delivery/tailwheel transition instructor for Maule. I flew Donna and myself over to Moultrie in my highly modified C170B. After our introductions and securing my bird into Maules large hanger, we went outside to look over the line of new birds sitting there. Suddenly I hear an engine starting and powering up from inside the hangar. My new best friend said..."Oops, back away from the hangar doors!" I'm wondering what the hell is going on, just in time to see old man BD Maule, in the air, flying out the door! You don't see that every day!!

@@ExperimentalAircraftChannel "The photo" was even before my visit to Maule, but I know of what you speak. If anyone hasn't seen the pics, a quick search for 'Maule flying out of hangar' should do the trick Right before I walked outside the hangar, BD asked me.."Goddamit...why didn't you buy a Maule?!?" I can't remember my reply exactly, but it didn't seem to buy much sway with the old man. I kinda felt bad...for a minute anyway. I can admit being in a rut, having begun an aviation career by skydiving from Cessnas, then moved to training in one, to giving instruction in 150s., before ending up in all types of 206, 207 and 208 Caravans. I just like the balance of the Cessna controls. To me, a Maule has a long elevator throw, a short aileron throw, and the rudder travel is just about what I like.

I didn't hear a reference to B.D. Maule having based this design on the Piper Pacer/Tri-Pacer. In the late 60's Maule used to have a demonstation of the aircraft starting a takeoff roll inside the hanger, and being airborne as it passed through the hanger door. I heard this was discontinued because it scared off customers.

Hehe awesome... my Pacer made the Maule video... not many know this but the Pacer was designed by Maule when he worked for Piper. Much of the Maule design is very similar to the Pacer, but he fixed all the corks of the Pacer when he built the Maule. Rumor has it, Maule left Piper because Piper didn’t agree with what Maule wanted to do with the Pacer... make it bigger, more wing, and have a pilot side door... pretty much the things most people think of Pacers negative side... Awesome video!!!
@johnnyboythepilot4098 4 жыл бұрын
Well that makes perfect sense. I always noticed how similar the Maule and Pacer were, and heard that Maule used the Pacer as a basis for the Maule M4, but I didn't know he actually worked for Piper on the Pacer at one point. That's so cool!
@AkPacerPilot 4 жыл бұрын
JohnnyBoythePilot it’s my understanding that by the time Maule designed the pa 20, that he wanted a pilot door and some other design changes and Piper had said no the pilot doesn’t need his own door. Rumor is the disagreement got heated enough for Maule to leave Piper to go on producing the Maule on his own.

I was thinking the same thing. But eliminating the steel framework. The R&D involved would be prohibitively expensive. Like designing a new bird. But it would breathe new life into the company. These days, "everybody" wants composites.
@MartyDidier 2 жыл бұрын
Enjoyed the video, thank you for providing it. Thought I noticed the Ribs were Stamped Sheet Aluminum but didn’t see the Punch Press and Die System. Stamping the Ribs would provide extra strength by folding Lips in one direction to add strength. Would be better then a Rib Build Up and Riveted. However it isn’t known how it compares to a CarbonFiber molded Rib which might weigh less and actually be equally as strong or even stronger. Been looking and wondering if anyone makes a Wing completely from Carbon Fiber? CarbonFiber Composite Fabricated Units have many advantages over Aluminum Assembled Units both with weight and Strength Integrity. Industry seems to be evolving in this direction.

Maule is a great airplane that has survived time and tested. Was a bit surprised to see so much of the equipment being so old - lathes, drill presses, grinders, etc. Would have thought to have seen CNC machine for 'nibbling' tubing. But what they done is art work. Interesting tour.
@alfredomarquez9777 3 жыл бұрын
Old machinery: Lathes, Mills, Presses, etc. are MORE RIGID and massive than contemporary machine tools... That is why they are so durable. Ask any knowledgeable machinist... I prefer an old Czech lathe to anything "modern" !
@alpineaviation1925 3 жыл бұрын
The Maule is a great Aircraft I have a lot of time in them. They are tough and very cost effective. Once you figure them out they are incredible performers. If the factory would get their stuff together they should outsell any of the Cubs and Cub clones. Since old BD Maule died no one has ever figured out how to move the factory into the present. A bit of fine tuning improvements to fit and finish and a proper marketing department could get them from being a parts supplier back to becoming an Aircraft manufacturer again. With the popularity of STOL planes this should be a none brainer. To get the best Quality Maule one needs to rebuild one and Keep it light. The late models are getting to Heavy The Aircraft is top notch -- the Company behind it -- well is a bit behind unfortunately.
