Ours used to stall at 50 mph with a hard break to the left. Discovered the left wing was washed upward at the wing tip. Dialed it in to spec and now it stalls at 45 in all conditions (solo and 1/2 tanks fuel) except at 40º power off it just mushes flat down with the elevator at the stop.

DeltaRomeo wrote:Is this power off stall? Do you have 15-35 degree flaps or the later 20-40 flaps? My M5 180C stalls at 49-50 mph power off indicated with 35 degrees flaps. The M4 has 70" flaps, M5 has 90" flaps; M6 has 120" flaps, and the M7 ranges from 114" to 126" depending on model. The 20-40 degree flap ratchet upgrade is on my wishlist. We'll see how that changes once installed.

I revisited this thread on saturday and purposely went out yesterday and did a few landings full flaps... stall light comes on between 45 and 50... and as usual I land with a shot of power at flair... seems to work well... Wouldn't have bothered but the Maule is for sale on barnstormers and The prospective owner asked...
