Weren’t last year either. Weather kept me from flying in last year, blown engine this year. That said, Maules are just really underrepresented in STOL comps.

“ That said, Maules are just really underrepresented in STOL comps.”
I would rather go “play” in mine than show off for others. Then again I usually head the opposite direction of the crowds, always have. My Maule just gets me out where few others go.

Re: Gainesville TX STOL competition
On Saturday morning I launched for my Zero Dark Thirty dawn patrol and sighted a D-Day livery C-47 heading North. I gave pursuit, joined to up sun route formation and followed him to GLE. The invasion stripes and WW2 history alongside me at sunrise was worth all the effort
I landed, taxied past the evidently still asleep competitors, the few that were awake were staring intently at my M5 like, "uh oh, a Maule is here"
I departed from mid field and continued my enjoyment...so much for organized events!
