I think you’ve hit the nail on the head as to why.

Some gen I’ve picked up and attempted short-landing the Maule. Due to the low stall speed and characteristic of the Maule where the drag curve comes in very suddenly, you can do some very steep approaches and I believe BD Maule’s son Ray will teach this technique for an ultra short field landing. Dangerous though because you require quite a lot of power to blast out of that curve into a viable flying airspeed. This is what can unsettle a landing. Far better to do a stable approach every time especially for an amateur like me. Doesn’t use that much runway anyway 🙂 Handles like a washing machine landing in a headwind!

In zat case Mogg-sieur, I can a make eet a next week.
