Is the instructor with the highest Maule time that I can think of in the Puget Sound. No real experience but I am sure there are Maule pilots out there that can comment.

I posted on Backcountry Pilots, too. I have owned my M-7-235 since 2005 and I am a CFI, CFII and a tailwheel instructor based at KSAC (Sacramento Executive). If you are in the Nor Cal area and need a BFR, IPC, or Maule-specific tailwheel endorsement/training, PM me and we can go from there. If you are looking for a tailwheel endorsement, I prefer to teach in your airplane for two reasons: Familiarity with your own equipment and save wear 'n tear on my own.

BTW - I am a terrible instructor. Really. Shocked

I don't teach "backcountry" or "off-airport" landings (except for emergency). I leave that to the real experts like Jeremy (aka Lord Maule). I am too conservative for that (read: chicken).

CHEERS!

A mile of highway will take you just one mile... but a mile of runway, err 250 feet, will take you anywhere.

My new tail wheel instructor failed to show up to fly my new airplane home. I taxied up and down the runway a few times and off I went. I was very worried about ground loop, it took me a second attempt to get her down without using all of the runway, side to side. My legs frooze.
My success comes from operating farm equipment all of my life, but I still cannot back a set of doubles or two cotton trailers.

Thanks for the offer Jet-A. An out of state flight is not likely at this point though. No one in Alaska?

When I bought my maule in anchorage I needed 10 hours to satisfy insurance requirements and I ended up getting them from an instructor named Dean Paulson. He is based out of Anchorage. I have misplaced his phone number but I am sure he is in the book. I don't know how many hours he has in maules but he seemed to know a fair deal about my airplane and was a good instructor all around. We did the basic lessons for the first 2 days. ie stalls, engine failures, short field, soft field, manuevers etc. and then on the third day we went out to knik river and did some pretty exciting off airport stuff. 75/hr is what he charged I think +- 5 bucks anyway look him up he's a good guy! fair and honest

Hey Buzz. You didn't happen to buy a read/cream M5 235 did you?

Dean was actually my first instructor. I have his number somewhere. I know how busy he is and was looking for an alternate in case he couldn't do it. I'll call him tomorrow. Thanks for the reply!

Yeah, I bought the red and cream maule sitting at merrill right along fifth next to stoddards. I bought it from a guy named Frank Pijuan who is also a CFI. I got a couple hours of instruction with him before having to find someone else to get me finished up. Frank and I's schedules didn't work out but he also seemed like a good instructor. He might hard to get ahold of cause he works out of state, let me know if you want to call him and i'll find his number for you.

Yea, I looked at and flew that Maule. Nice ride! I was trying to make a deal with him that would include instruction but he was definitely hard to get in touch with.

Thanks for the numbers aero101!

RT. Not personally. She is well liked by most up here and has been an OK Governor. Everyone I talk to that does know them say the Palin's are good folks. I find it kind of amusing the Republican mantra has been Obama's lack of experience though... She is also under investigation for ethics, conflict of interest and abuse of power at the moment. Seems to be a trend up here.

Hi I am new to this group. My name is Patrick Romano and I do instruct in tailwheels. I personally own a M7 with 31" tundra tires. I do some instruction still, mainly in tailwheels. I live in austin, tx but will do instruction in boulder, co Dallas, tx and Houston, tx. or anywhere else that is interesting. I don't mind teaching the more aggressive stuff (hydroplaning, sandbars, off airport stuff), if I feel you are confident. Feel free to contact me @5122891989 Patrick@jarinc.cc

I don't look at this forum too often so if you want to contact me it's easiest to just call or email.
