I think it's the other way around...what can a Maule do that a Scott
3200 can't do? SHIMMEY! Years ago we put a Maule pneumatic on our
Cessna 140 to replace the hard rubber tire Scott 2000. Never could get
the Maule to work well, so we went back to the Scott. The other thing
that is nice on the 3200 is dual forks. That just HAS to be better than
a single fork in rough field operations...

Scott, I have seen those Scott forks bend, warp, crack, break and be
re-welded. Knock on wood, but I have never seen that big brawny fork on a
Maule crack or break. I have never had a Maule shimmy on my aircraft, but
have fixed a Cub's Maule that shimmied because the tailsprings had been
improperly installed and the wheel was mis-rigged.

Let's hear it from the bushplane boys in Alaska. That's where a tailwheel
does the ultimate duty.

BTW, a friend just got back from ferrying a VG'd two-ten to Wasilla, AK.
He said on the destination airport was an old Taylorcraft with a two-hundred
horsepower Lycoming on the nose.
