Nice. I like "around your house"!
You have to make up your mind about growing up and becoming a pilot. You can't do both!

Just a couple of shots I took on the way home after picking up my plane. I wish I had taken more now but I was concentrating on the job at hand. I did a little flying today still working on my skill set. The more I fly this M4 the more I like it. I'm finally starting to get it slowed down on short final I've been carrying to much speed in to the flare and floating. That's ok at an airport with 3-4000 ft but it can get troubling on 1600 feet with some trees at the end. I see why some have said Maules don't like the ground, it's either fly or go park it. I had been use to a longer ground roll on take off in the citabria . With the maule it's more like power, right rudder, rotate.
I got a long week at work making up for last month's time off just hate not flying the maule for that long.

Check out the Back County Pilots forum, and the article on AOA flying. It will help you get those landings shortened up.

Round tail is the best looking Maule IMO. Nice plane.
