Actually, I can bring my Maule down an ILS at 115+ knots. Flaps in
negative (that's the key), low cruise power (about 2400rpm fixed pitch
before applying flaps), produces about 4-500 fpm and 115 knots. Just
keep the power below redline. Minimal trim changes required due to the
flaps. I fly vectors at cruise then just reflex the flaps when hitting
the slope.

It would be really awkward doing it without the reflex flaps. Lots of
trim required and a very bouyant aircraft with all that high lift wing.

The critical words here are "to the numbers". Actually, I start
chopping, triming and flapping at dh and still make an early turnoff.

BTW, my Maule cruises at 114knots at 2600 rpm, flaps normal. The only
thing limiting a faster descent down the slope is engine redline.

You have the 180? I had the 160hp version. Cruise at 103 knots at just under
2650 rpm.
