Maule M-7 Aircraft

The Maule M-7 is the modern flagship of the Maule line — a high-wing, four/five-seat STOL single available in a wide range of engines (180–260 hp), tailwheel or tricycle gear, and on wheels, floats or skis. With strong short-field performance and a good useful load at a value price, the M-7 is a favourite backcountry, float and utility aircraft that competes with the Cessna 180/185 and the modern bush planes on capability-per-dollar.
