Seeking Maule CFI in CO or CA
Posted: Sun Dec 06, 2020 8:05 am
Hi Maulepilots.org!
First time posting.
I am a fairly new pilot, just under 200hrs, with most my hours in a c-172.
The specs of a Maule truly fit my flight needs and based on what I've read, it seems an MX7-180 is the right plane for my main uses at my lodge in Alaska, where a combination of high useable load from airport to gravel runway and ability to take lighter loads for landings in the bush is ideal.
I also have been a professional in the ski industry for many years, so am eager to (eventually) get on the ski-plane kick!
I am not working currently, and am in the lower 48, so would love to find a CFI in either Colorado or Southern California with a Maule who can spend 4-5 hours with me a day for a week or so (I am a highly motivated, but also very patient, USMC veteran who is humbly open to taking instruction and not trying to push beyond my limits).
Any thoughts/contacts appreciated.
