If you want to get closer to a true stall at landing, you'd probably want to come in about a foot or two higher and really get the nose up before touching the tail. Of course your Maule probably wouldn't be so happy with that technique Maules are not happy with that technique. When a Maule is in three-point attitude, it is not stalled. Power-off stall in no-wind conditions occurs when the mains are about 6" higher than the tailwheel. George Patterson Why do men's hearts beat faster, knees get weak, throats become dry, and they think irrationally when a woman wears leather clothing? Because she smells like a new truck. |

Power-off stall in no-wind conditions occurs when the mains are about 6" higher than the tailwheel. Agreed. The condition that people *call* a full stall landing can be achieved in the Maule by doing this, "...make a minimum speed approach, flare at the right moment, and touch the ground just as the wheel is pulled all the way back. Not a good way to grease it on but it is wonderful thing when it happens". The key being 'minimum speed approach' in a power-off condition. I don't think it's stalled in that configuration because if I add just a little power, I can continue to bring the nose up and float, and even touch down tail first. But if you leave the power off, the nose will not come up any further and begin to fall. Just no more elevator authority. |
