I've been flying a Taylorcraft for the past two or three years. I'm looking really hard at a Maule. I have a grass strip just north of Cookeville, TN - Holder Field 4tn6 and need a plane that can get in and out with two people and a moderate load. I think I'm wanting to go with a nose gear this time around. I noticed two of you guys have trigears and in the area. Thanks for the welcome. I look forward to talking with you more.

Other than the obstructions, 2000 ft at 1100 ft should give you lots of options in the Maule line.

Hey, I fly down to Lebanon about once a month. I finished up my private with Don Reed many moons ago down there. Good group of people.

John in Lenoir City and I in Knoxville both have tri gear and keep planes on grass strips. Unless you are rock jumping, there is no downside to a tri gear. Some say the tri gear has a shorter takeoff distance than the taildragger.

My wife and I fly over to your area a couple times a month. Mostly to McMinnville and and Nashville. PM me and let's see if we can get together and fly to McMinnville to have lunch at Billy's for a burger

You've got lots of room to get in and out with 2 people. No problems....
