The MX-7-180A is a respected taildragger configuration within the Maule MX-7 series of light aircraft, known for reliable performance in challenging conditions. This variant, certified in the early 1990s, is powered by a 180 hp Lycoming O-360 piston engine.

The manufacturer, MAULE AIR (or Maule Aircraft), has a rich history dating back to the 1950s when B.D. Maule began the aircraft business. The company established a reputation for building sturdy, short take-off and landing (STOL) aircraft, emphasizing ruggedness and versatility. This legacy continued with family members like Ray and Rautgunde Maule, who established Maule Flight in 1970.

A range of platforms and access solutions assists with maintenance across the aircraft. These access solutions include platform ladders, modular stepover platforms, and cantilever platforms, supporting maintenance needs for the engine, landing gear (NLG and MLG), and access to the cabin and cockpit. The selection of stands and platforms ensures thorough access for inspections and servicing of all aircraft sections, including the wings, fuselage, and tail section.
