Thanks for watching. 14 years! That’s a good history with a plane. I’ll never sell mine as long as I keep it greasy side down.. I’ve flown and flown in almost every bush plane up here, and I truly feel a properly set up maule is the best all around bush plane for what I do up here. Happy you enjoyed the video.
This must be Wup? I’ve surmised a fair bit of this planes past but more to figure out. You guys did do a great job on this build. It is still in really nice shape for being used daily now for work. Flown other maules and this one still outperforms. Thanks for putting this bird together. I’ll definitely be holding on to this for a long time.
Sadly I live in the UK where you cant even drive into the 'wilderness' and camp next to your car let alone fly so that looks like an amazing freedom you have there!
Where is the fish box in that lil thang?!! It looks like you can get to the spot, but how do you get the harvest home? Can you carry any weight out? Just curious...
Nothing like a boat, but it will haul an honest 1000 pounds in and out of 400 feet if the approach is good. Now I’ve packed fish, an entire moose, countless deer, but where I live, with so many bears, having a fabric airplane puts me on edge after flying around bear food all day. I’ve never seen a bear chew on aluminum…. You’ve got me on that one..
@@olivercoray I only have to deal with black bears in CO but I'm building a tube and fabric plane. Are you aware of any electric fence options that can help deter bears (black or griz)? Or is that not a practical solution?
@@Ko3n3k33 electric fences work well. Not fool proof but a good option. I have five, including a light weight backpacker one that runs off two D cell batteries and only weighs five pounds. I’ve watched many bears tap into them and run. I’ve also seen the walk right through if it’s dry and they don’t put their nose to it.
I believe they started to again. There are several factory new m7 with the 33’8” wing like mine now. They should all have that wing in my opinion. Just makes it a better plane. I touch down between 39-41 mph if not heavily loaded
Stall speed is about 37-38. Power on….Hard to say it gets pretty steep. But the 120” flaps allow me to land at almost a flat deck angle at 40 which is great for visibility over the nose, and makes cross winds easier with the tail up. The universal wing is great, but a little more is a little better. My plane is a pig, almost 1600 pounds..
@@TrentonPalmer Well, I had a girlfriend who told me, "You just need to grow up a little." I said , How's that?" She said, " About 200 years." Maybe I'm just showing my age. Check out Jughead Councel's latest vid on the trip to Nebraska STOL. Now that's flying music. 😁
With 35" bush wheels is cruises at 120 mph at 22 squared burning 11gph at altitude. 73 gallons of fuel total gives me pretty long legs. Flying longer trips I'll carry more fuel in airframes AK fuel bladders. Makes it a fairly versatile plane for Alaska.
@@kortiz3931 I believe my longest no wind take off with around a 1000 pound load was 350 feet. Thats all airplane, not skill. Sea level helps a lot too.
Pretty funny.... the video was a sub one hour project and the music was a result of “Animals” being at the top of the alphabetic list in my music library... next time I’ll give it to the B’s. :)
I flew an M-6-235 long wing my last 14 years with the Department of Interior. Great airplane. Thanks very much for a great video.

your tires make them 4inch rocks look small. Awesome plane bro you make it look smoother than my Cadillac
They are pretty ridiculous….
Great video and I commend your choice of classic rock tunes for the backdrop. Old rockers appreciate, those vintage tunes.
Hey mate, awesome video! I have an M7-235 in Aus 🍻
That was a fun airplane to build, lots of time in that one. Love the music myself.

@@olivercoray yes sir, good to see X-ray went to a good home
Классный самолёт, красивые места, привет из Сочи.
I can see the pride of ownership in your video, very nice 🙏
I appreciate that one.
great looking plane
So beautiful flight and magnificent scenery.
It's freedom.

(the land where freedom died.)
France is a beautiful country. I’d love to be able to fly around the south of France. Thanks for watching, we are fortunate to live here in Alaska.

badass my brother
do they still build the long wing for the M7?

@@olivercoray with the universal wing it stalls at 40mph right? but light weight i think... what about yours?

@@olivercoray Awesome man! thanks for the info! be safe1
SO AWESOME !!
Awesome !!!👍👍
Glad you enjoyed
Great video. Really strange, funereal choice in music. Did you crash it afterwards?
Super.
МЕЧТА !
Awesome 👌 😃👍
Sorry, the music ran me off. Too bad.
I actually thought the music made the video. I dig it

Its actually a VERY SHORT TAKE OFF, amazing,I didnt think its that fast))Whats the longest flight you made in it?

@@olivercoray beautiful plane brother..nice to find your channel
@@olivercoray decent, and fully loaded plane also can do 150m take off?
@@kortiz3931 I believe my longest no wind take off with around a 1000 pound load was 350 feet. Thats all airplane, not skill. Sea level helps a lot too.
@@olivercoray wow!
You sell the plane, you keep the god damn wings. You can’t find those for sale anywhere
I feel pretty fortunate to pick up this plane, I honestly don’t ever see selling it. The price on these long wings are skyrocketing.
@@olivercoray yup. I couldn’t find a long wing for mine so I’m going to try and put a universal wing on. Still better than the 28” drop tips
@olivercoray what's the difference in the wings on this one verses a "regular" one??
@@gregwatruba4541 they are longer and make a huge difference in the backcountry. Everyone wants them one there maule but they are rare.
Rad.
