Was going over some NTSB stats regarding Maule wrecks

Thanks for gleaning all that information!
Lot's to think about there.

Oddly, I meet many Maule owners who have never removed the rear seat or know how or even that it can be done.
Another finding in all these years is how many Maule operators are confused about rudder trim and rudder servo.

I took the back seat out to haul some cargo 2 years ago and it hasn't been back in since.

How about this, more than once I have been asked how I can get any traction to move forward when on bald tyres.
Another mystery to many is the relationship of tailwheel swivel movement and rudder movement. This is prevalent among trigear pilots and the reason for some groundloops because there is a belief the tailwheel steers the plane as a nosewheel does, thus the immediate discontinued aileron input at touchdown.
A disaster especially in crosswind so they won’t fly if there’s much crosswind.

Funny you mention that Jeremy.

I had a 182 pilot ask me what it was like taking off from snowy runways asking about wheelspin.

He also seemed incredulous that directional stability on takeoff is a factor of thrust on the nose and aerodynamics. The nosewheel has little to do with it.

Everybody knows you have to shift them into gear...before take-off
