My new M5-235. Bought it in November in Salt Lake City.
Mountain Matt, I hope I wasn't one of the spoilers in your search for a Maule. The timing was close.




Played a little with a husky around the salt lake before heading home.


A familiar place for many around here. We dropped in on the way home and had a good visit with Rod.

One of the greatest places on earth.

Great plane and congrats RWM.

I remember seeing that one listed, it was a great deal!

That plane was my hangar next-door neighbor!! Damon told me he was considering selling it one day and the next time I peeked over there the place was cleaned out- Man times have changed in aviation...we had a 5 year waiting list on hangars at KSLC and now both hangars to my sides are empty and many more. Hope you enjoy that thing.

Ok everyone, I may not be the quickest study but I finally figured out how to upload photos so I thought this thread would be a great one to start with.

Let me just say this picture was taken by one of the previous owners either Bob Elliott or Ken Moon (so exactly where it is I can't say). I bought the plane this past April and immediately fell in love with it. This plane has a long history in Alaska, and while we did bring it back to South Dakota it will be making many more trips back to Alaska.

Alaska.

Kenn's a friend of mine. Did you know that photo was taken by Don Sheldon's Mountain House?

Have fun,

I did not know that, that's cool. You'll have to ask Ken about how I tried to kill him when he started my tail wheel endorsement. I just about made a ball of metal on my first takeoff run. If it weren't for Ken's skill I probably would have immediately tested my insurance. But thanks to Ken, Hiedi and Rick Reuse I got through it and have just about 100 hrs in N91393.

Hey Rob. This is my second Maule....but I don't think I've ever been welcomed to the club though. Thanks for making it official

Thats a really nice looking aircraft...

After nearly a month of weather and work delays, I finally got my new (to me) Rans S-7S home.

Nice Bird. What powerplant???

Nice plane! Looks like you have to change your name again

Thanks. It has the 100 horse Rotax 912ULS.
Spent a little over an hour today working with my instructor getting friendly with the little wheel in the back.
What a fun plane to fly. Weird to be a student again but I'm loving the challenge. Can't wait until he cuts me loose to play on my own. Easy to see why these S-7's are so popular

Got rid of a Hangar and gained another Bird / BUG?
Less than 300 hours since new!!

Very Cool!!! I've always liked the look of Wilgas. Does it have the MP14?

Then where are you storing these new birds??

Going to stuff them all in the hangar at the farm,

moving off the city estate because of so much BS with the authorities!!
Just about to put the Skybolt and the RV6 on the market to make a little room!!

How is the strip this time of year George?

It's set up really well!
I just knocked the top off of the gopher mounds!
Come on up.

Make a low pass first as the deer really like the green!
Watch for the powerlines across the strip
