We have had reason for contests or safaris to use two different
Maule models for a supplemental tug over the years.

High experience towpilot and taildragger drivers.
Pawnees, 180s, Cubs.

His comments were that the M-5 taildragger actually handled the
transition to landings nicer than the M-7. The roll authority
coupled with flap interactions were not as nice in hot, gusty days
in the M-7.
Otherwise, the other fellows gave you a lot more data.

I tow with one of the CAP 235 Maules. It does a good job pulling a
gross weight L-23.

Door latches and window latches are cheesy to say the least.

All in all, not a bad airplane, especially for a occassional tow, but
I sure like the Pawnee better if you are going to do many tows.
