I'm quite entertained by the Maule airplanes. Here yoiu have a STOL
aircraft built for major abuse, but when you throw the big motor in it
and flip the flaps into the negative position, that puppy cooks right
along putting most high-performance singles to shame. Most twins
really offer little over a high-performance single, except for climb
performance.

I also have some BH stock too. Yes, I agree that it's a beautiful
thing seeing those planes around. Kaching, kaching...
