Re: Any Maulers in Saudi Arabia!
I was in KAEC (King Abdullah Economic City) in February, I wish I knew, I would have loved to have gone up for a flight

Re: Any Maulers in Saudi Arabia!
Sorry for the late reply. The only Maules i know in Saudi are my '04 MXT-7-180 which I bought in 2018 and working on restoring another '05 M7-235 which has been abandoned for 4 years in a hangar (slow project), and a couple others that belongs to a wildlife governmental agency.
Life is pretty good, it's as if it was designed for the terrain here.
Here are some of the latest pictures I took the past few months, would love to read your opinions
Thanks for the warm welcome!

Re: Any Maulers in Saudi Arabia!
I see that you are using a suction cup mounted sun visor. Rosen Visors makes a version that clamps to the V-tubes on either side and has an STC for Maules. When I installed mine many years ago they were $300 for a pair. Aircraft Spruce is selling them now for $475. They won't leave rings or scratch the inside of your Plexiglass like the suction cup will.

Re: Any Maulers in Saudi Arabia!
Are you allowed to do off-airport landings there? You know, just go out into the desert somewhere and pick an interesting place to land?

Re: Any Maulers in Saudi Arabia!
You are allowed to land off the gird, but you have to do a flight plan with the coordinates of where you'll be landing. you can scout for locations along a normal flight and then submit a flight plan with where you'll be landing. simply yet annoying.Andy Young wrote: ↑Sun Mar 21, 2021 2:06 pmAre you allowed to do off-airport landings there?
