MXT-7-180

The MXT-7-180 is a pivotal model in the Maule MX-7 lineup, introduced in the early 1990s as a taildragger configuration. This light, single-engine aircraft is celebrated for its short take-off and landing (STOL) capability, making it popular among bush pilots operating in challenging environments. The MXT-7-180 is powered by a 180 hp Lycoming O-360 engine, incorporating modernized features of the M-7 series for dependable performance.

The manufacturer, Maule Air, Inc., is a private, family-owned aviation company based in Moultrie, Georgia, U.S. Founded by Belford D. Maule in 1941 as the B.D. Maule Co., the company initially produced specialized parts like tailwheels before shifting focus to aircraft design. Maule began full aircraft production with the “Bee-Dee” M-4 in 1957. The company’s legacy is built on producing sturdy, tube-and-fabric aircraft valued for their versatility.

Maintenance around this aircraft requires specialized access. Platforms and access solutions are available for servicing areas like the Nose Section (Windshield & Cockpit), Landing Gear (Main Landing Gear), and Wing areas (Engine).
