Maule M-7

Overview

• The 235-horsepower MT-7-235 (the T stands for tricycle gear) and its close cousin, the M-7-235 that is mounted on floats, skis, or conventional gear, are used for a variety of adventurous assignments nationwide. A recent check shows these aircraft tracking wild animals in the Northwest, towing gliders for the Civil Air Patrol, and providing commercial seaplane transportation in Florida and the Bahamas.  Maule is famous for the budget prices of its new airplanes,. Compare what you get for what you pay and you'll see Maule stands up well to the competition.

  The new MX-7-180C Millennium tailwheel 180-hp model comes with long-range tanks (73 gallons of usable fuel) as standard. Obviously, owners won't fill the tanks every time; but when they're full, the aircraft has an eight-hour endurance and, with reserves, a range of 940 nautical miles.  The useful load averages about 1,000 pounds. The four-place aircraft features the new spring-aluminum gear and a constant-speed propeller, and it can be put on floats.  The 180-hp MXT-7-180A Comet has a nosewheel for those not willing to spend the 10 hours or so it takes to learn tailwheel flying. While the Comet comes with standard fuel tanks (43 gallons usable), long-range tanks can be added as an option. The Comet, with a useful load of 950 lb, features the spring-aluminum gear and a fixed-pitch propeller. On the day it was flown, it was lightly loaded and climbed at nearly 900 feet per minute; cruise speeds averaged 113 KTAS.  https://www.aopa.org/go-fly/aircraft-and-ownership/aircraft-fact-sheets/maule-7
