1997 Maule M-7 Aircraft
$AUD395,000
This 1997 Maule M-7-235C Super Rocket represents a rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully maintained and extensively updated STOL aircraft. Perfect for family adventures or demanding off-airport missions, this Maule combines rugged capability with recent significant investments that ensure both performance and peace of mind. The aircraft has just undergone a comprehensive refurbishment following a taxi incident, which included a major strip by Suncoast Aero, resulting in the installation of a new propeller, new undercarriage, and a new windscreen.
The panel is equipped with a modern avionics suite, including a brand-new Garmin ADS-B Out transponder and a full-color JPI engine monitoring system installed in 2023. Its practical design is enhanced with factory patroller doors and a rear bench seat that features quick-release pins for effortless removal, easily converting the cabin from passenger transport to a cargo hauler for camping gear. With a low-time engine and a crisp repaint completed in 2025, this aircraft is in exceptional condition and ready for its next owner.
