Default RE: Maule question

Guess I will have to do that, A neighbor and good friend has a maule, red and white, He flew it in alaska for many years, moved back home around 10 years ago and flew it all the way back, unfortunately He was going up for a flight, just got airborne and one of the links on the variable pitch prop broke and he was going down.........fast! there were power lines and a hiway coming up so he banked left and it stalled out, came down on the left wing and the nose............. bent crank, bent gear, and torn up wing............... He walked away without injury but I believe the plane will be no more, says it will cost more to fix it than its worth. I always liked the plane so I thought it would be fun to get one and cover it in the same scheme as his.
