Loading a Maule M7 to gross weight.

Because of a shipping snafu we ended up having to pack our 31" bushwheels in our Maule on the way to pick up our Carbon Cub for a camping trip. volume wise, it was by far and away the most we have put in the plane. I really didn't think it was all going to fit, but it did with a little room to spare. And we were still under gross by a smidge.

Don't forget the sunshine and rainbows!

Your videos are inspiring. Seriously. It's hard to choose a favorite but I think the formation flight you did up that Alaskan river is my dream trip. Your editing with your amazing shots and selected music is why I subscribe. I'm stuck in the desert, feel free to post more. It makes the days fly by...

Wow thanks! I will be reformatting several powerpoint stuff to a more entertaining format and posting the appropriate ones here. if you pm i will get you the link tot the video you were talking about.

It will hold a lot of stuff as long as you just have 2 people onboard. It's a really nice 2 seat plane.

I did not know elves weighed that much. Learn something new everyday.

In one of your previous videos, you mentioned using the DJI 450 quadcopter. What are you using now? Looks a little bigger! Great videos

[@Backcountryaviation]

We have a bunch. There are a 3 different ones used here. A S800 with a modified 550 with baby zenmuse, and quav500. Thanks!

It is a 1988

Backcountry Aviation Hi. Considering a purchase and its either a Carbon Cub or a M7. Sure id like the 4 seats, but the STOL of the Cub is hard to beat. Is the M7 almost as good and therefore should i go for the M7. If you have only one, which would it be?
