Each day, the team at Aircraft For Sale picks an airplane that catches our attention because it is unique, represents a good deal, or has other interesting qualities. You can read Aircraft For Sale: Today’s Top Pick at FLYINGMag.com daily.
Today’s Top Pick is a 2005 Maule M-4-180V.
Maule aircraft have been flying STOL missions since long before the practice “became a thing,” as my kids would say. And while there are numerous aircraft that can take off and land in a reasonably short distance, many pilots consider Maules among the best for getting in and out of tight spots. When you roll up to the self-serve fuel pumps in a Maule taildragger, people will assume that you are serious. The kids call that a “flex.”
Company founder Bedford D. Maule performed perhaps the ultimate flex by taking off inside a hangar and flying out through the open door. We do not advise trying such stunts with this M-4, but you can be sure this machine was designed to transport you and your gear to interesting places that are not necessarily airports.
This 2005 Maule M-4 has 575 hours on the airframe and 180 hp Lycoming O-360-engine. The panel includes a Garmin 250XL nav/com, Garmin GTX 327 transponder, and uAvionics SkyBeacon ADS-B.
If your airborne travel plans include short-field and backcountry operations, camping, and other outdoor activities, you should take a look at this 2005 Maule M-4-180V, which is available for $114,500 on AircraftForSale.
You can arrange financing of the aircraft through FLYING Finance. For more information, email [email protected].
