Hi...

I'm buying an M-7-260C which is located just outside Denver and I'm looking for a CFI to work with me in the Maule in Colorado, AND/OR someone who can work with me and my new Maule in my home state of New Hampshire.

It would be wonderful if there's a CFI out there who I can pay to train me while we fly it together from Colorado to New Hampshire!

Or, if anyone knows a non-CFI Maule pilot who I can hire just to ferry it, I'd greatly appreciate even that!

I mistakenly thought that I could just find a tailwheel instructor to help me, and had several who said they could help, but I've just now discovered it takes a special breed to train people to fly Maules; I suddenly find myself closing on an aircraft halfway across the country and without anyone willing/able to help train me or help me get it home. Any help is appreciated!

Thanks!

Tori

Depending on the time frame I could help.

Hi Rick,

Thanks for the reply! I sent you an email.

Hi Tori,

I'm not a CFI, but I live near Denver (Boulder) and am originally from New Hampshire, and have flown that route a number of times. Perhaps we can work something out for me to get your plane to you. I am a 4500 hour pilot, most of it tailwheel (I fly tailwheel planes in Alaska for a living) and a Maule M-6-235 owner.

Feel free to drop me an email or give me a call.

I just had a thought. I see a lot of pilots who want maule flight training. Anyone ever thought of holding a special school on flying and maintaining your maule? I know if you purchase one you get a check out, but thats not what I am talking about. A week or two of classes and flying at spence field to really help a customer or potential customer get more training and feel more comfortable in their maule. You could recieve your certificate of completion and 25 hrs. of tw time. Also a great way to get maule pilots aquainted. This could be done once a year,or as class size permits. Each person pays a small fee and would be great for your insurance company. Just a thought.

Where in Colorado? When are you going to NH?
I might be able to help you with that.
Drop me a line.

Tori, good to see you on the site. For a mechanic I use Paul Zannis at Moultonboro airport. 5M3. He is a tail dragger pilot and is very reasonable on repairs and annual inspections.

He has Maule time, is CFI. He has airline priveleges and can do one way ferry.

Okay, i'm curious if you worked something out? Is the Maule back in NH yet?
