Maule-ish. Ish meaning "kind of like." So, kind of like a Maule

Maule, it isn't just for the bush.

 

[Matthewdupreez]

Yea it does look a lot like a Maule.

Maule, it isn't just for the bush.

[Taildragger]

So I'd say @Ratcheeroo and @cyclone3350 have pretty much finished theirs... how about everyone else?
I'm starting the build today for my cruiser

I finished and flew mine by the original deadline...

Maule M-7, it's a bush plane. The tail reminds me of one if you put it on conventional gear.

Maules are awesome planes. Went up in my friends one a month or so ago. Flew it for a bit from the right seat and she tracks straight and true

The other night I heard this horrendous loud sound that actually caused the house to buzz with a high frequency vibrations. It was definitely a turbo prop, but unlike any I ever heard before. I called my neighbor, who is also an aviation buff, to get his opinion. He said he looked it up on flight tracker and told me it was a Cub. I thought he was joking, but sure enough, it was a Cub. The NATO name for the Antonov An 12 flying from Canada to Arizona. I wonder if @leaded50 could knock one of these out for the Cub challenge. This is what I would expect from him if asked to build a Cub.

Alright, late to the party and there are beautiful planes on this thread, but I started a new J-3 Cubbish. 9 foam board pieces, 2 servoes, and an 1806 or 2205 motor. I might use the big tires in the picture, though with all the snow I’m thinking of making skis. It’s a pretty straight forward build. I had a different motor mount on the first version, so I’m changing up the front of of the fuselage.

The first one was an easy flier, so we’ll see how this one goes.

I like what I see. It looks like it was cut out with a great attention to detail and precision. Looking forward to seeing it completed.

go ahead, but remember the builds are due by jan 1st
I'm gonna say the maidens don't need to be done until jan 15 because most people have bad weather this time of year
