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.

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.

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.
