Perfect for family adventures or demanding off-airport missions, this Maule combines rugged capability with recent significant investments that ensure both performance and peace of mind.

Its practical design is enhanced with factory patroller doors and a rear bench seat that features quick-release pins for effortless removal, easily converting the cabin from passenger transport to a cargo hauler for camping gear. With a low-time engine and a crisp repaint completed in 2025, this aircraft is in exceptional condition and ready for its next owner.
