Maule CFI needed Wilkesboro, NC (UKF)
I purchased a 1980 M-5-180C. I need an hour of dual for insurance purposes.
The open pilot section of my policy requires: "Any Private or more advanced pilot who has 500 hours as Pilot in Command, 100 hours in tailwheel aircraft and at least 25 hours in this make and model aircraft."
Is there a CFI in the area that meets those requirements that could travel to UKF to give me that dual?
Or, is there someone within 100 miles or so that can give me an hour dual in an M-5-180C? If a different model, I can contact the insurance company and see if that would work.
Thanks,
Chris Smith

Thanks, Andy, but the policy says: "Prior to solo flight Chris must receive 1 hour of dual flight instruction in this make and model aircraft with a CFI who meets the open pilot clause below or is approved/named on the policy."andy wrote:If you didn't need a CFI, I could do it. I'm based at KMRN not too far from you.
Gotta be a CFI...

Gap seals installed. And yes, it does float like a manhole cover! I had an RV-6 with O-360 and CSP, and it was kinda the same. With full flaps and about 65 MPH, it came down like a rock!DeltaRomeo wrote:Congratulations and welcome aboard!
Maule floats like a manhole cover so be ready with power near touchdown and get the elevator gap seals. Get the parts DVD from Maule as it is the best way to get familiar with your aircraft.
Lots of great info regarding flying technique and experience here.

I will probably have family here that weekend, but if not, I'll do my best to get down there.
