Maule Homecoming Maintenance Topics
Just climbed out from under the panel long enough to realize how close we are to the Homecoming Fly-In date.
I’m looking for requests and suggestions for the Maule maintenance topics. Please post recommendations here and I will try to include them.
Hope to see everyone here at Wright Aircraft Technology, LLC Saturday Oct. 13, 2007. Planning to get started around 10:00AM or so.

Hey,
I offered to send Rob a free Maule tailwheel, but he got smart and BOUGHT the AK bushwheel. I can keep mine from shimmying most of the time if everything's perfect, but you guy's with heavier airplanes, I think your doomed with the factory tailwheel. Please don't bring up that I said so at the factory tour OK

Mike,
David will be back from a trip tomorrow, I think. He would know exactly if you called him. There is plenty of room to get a C-210 or a 700 gl Ag plane with a 54 ft. wingspan in there, I've done both. I also know of one person that totaled their Maule by letting it drift into the trees on the side. Give David a call, I'm sure he knows the exact dimensions. Anyone not comfortable could land at Spence field and I could come get you, no problem. It's only about a 5 min. flight.
This weekend is about enjoying ourselves and having a good time, not expanding our flying ability or pushing our comfort level. It's why I intentionally did not include spot landing or short landing or any other "competitions".
I intend to conduct a pilot briefing with a handout including comm freqs, traffic pattern direction and altitude, picture of the landing area etc. prior to us going anywhere as a group, prior to us leaving for the next location.
Anyone uncomfortable with David's strip should land at Spence field and have us shuttle you in, Spence field is of course where the Maule factory is and will be our next stop anyway.
Remember everyone "there are no old, bold pilots"
My belief is the worst thing we could do would be to hurt someone or bend an airplane.
