What's a Maule Cave, and where did you get those marvelous sun shades? Man, I could use those! I really enjoyed the camera angle that lets us see the panel as well as the view out the windscreen. Great stuff.

Flyhound, those are the Rosen visors. and on our TC so just a signoff is needed for installation.

Hello Flyhound !

The Maule Cave is the name of the Red Hangar there on the property that you can barely see on the video when I land & turn the plane around. The place is owned by Jeff Hopf in Llano. He and his son Kyle Hopf now fly a sweet M7 (N6447M). I met Jeff at the 1st Annual Lone Star Maule Round-up and he let me park my M7 in his hangar during the bad weather night (Friday). We had to move his Citabria back in the corner a bit to make room

. I took Jeff up on Sunday in the M7 and when we made it back to his airstrip, he said "I have got to get one of these !!! ".

Needless to say, the Citabria was later sold and Jeff & Kyle joined the club ! He then made a visit to David Beaver to get the bushwheels added. I think Kyle re-named their airstrip / hangar from Hopf Field to The Maule Cave so I suspect the letters on the hangar will have to be replaced.

Photo's of the new M7, the planes that were in Llano a couple of weekends ago and Jeff's old Citabria.

Thanks for the responses. If I pass through Texas the next time I fly across the country, I'll have to visit Llano and the Maule Cave!

Duane, I'll probably bring my Maule beck to Moultrie for its annual this spring and have you install a set of those Rosen visors while I'm there! 2014 is going to be a great year!
