Maule models naming
Something I've wondered for a while now:
All the Maule models have cool sounding names like Star Rocket, Comet, Orion, etc....but then there's the MX7-160 and 180A that are Sportplane....just doesn't seem to be in the same category as the others.

Heck, I live in Alaska where there a bunch of Maules and still get called Cessna or Piper by controllers. I have never heard anyone differentiate between models on the radio. A Maule is a Maule is a Maule as far as they are concerned.
You have to make up your mind about growing up and becoming a pilot. You can't do both!
