Many long, slow climbs to 11,000 feet only to discover that it still wasn't
high enough to clear the towering CUs.

Super nice plane and you will like the performance...

Let's put it in perspective: I am confident that many long decades
from now, you grizzled, old and frail, with your loving children and
grandchildren clustered around your final bed; I am absolutely
confident that you will not suddenly raise up and say,"Damn, I wish I
hadn't bought that turbocharged airplane."

I just came back from the airport... One of the regular airport bums
there just took delivery of his brand new Maule two days ago... When I
looked through the side window as he taxied past all I could see was
silly stretched lips from ear to ear...
