Never Mind, just realized that's Bill Duncan's Super Maule?

Seems to me that the Keller double slotted flaps would basically make the M7 hover.
I keep looking for videos with the modifications to the flaps.

Airframes has double slotted flaps for Maules. They just aren’t legal so they do not sell them. With a few calls and the right amount of money I’m sure one could get their hands on some.

I would hope a tons of people would be. I think we need to get more people buying their mods like the new Aluminum Maule struts to keep them interested in our market. If I wasn’t replacing my engine right now I would love a set of struts.

Re: Leading Edge Slats/Keller Flaps?
I've got a set of the new struts on order. My plane had one sealed, and three stock struts. So as part of the rebuild and diet, I figured I'd pull the trigger on them, instead of just buying three sealed struts. I would be interested in the Keller flaps too, but I can wait.
Aren't those cub wings on the Super Maule? They're fabric... I'd sure like to see some outside footage of some takeoffs and landings...

Re: Leading Edge Slats/Keller Flaps?
What is the weight savings and cost of the Aluminum struts?

From the Airframes Alaska website:
Features and Facts:
Major weight reduction close to the CG/Directly under the Wings.
Weight reduction is 17” aft of the wing leading edge.
8-9 lbs. of weight savings when replacing original Maule struts.
8.4 lbs. of weight savings when replacing Airframes Alaska Maule steel sealed struts.
PRICE: $3,950.00

Re: Leading Edge Slats/Keller Flaps?
So about $29.00 per ounce of weight savings or $460./lb. I supose thats about the going rate. Honestly, for me, it would be better go to Jenny Craig, but where is the fun in that!

Re: Leading Edge Slats/Keller Flaps?
The new struts are also not affected by the AD. Yeah yeah lots of you have sealed struts, but they aren’t as cool either so….
